I have installed 7.0.15, and 7.1.4 on Solaris2. With 7.0.15 (Ans, i *think* 7.1.4), you don't need a compiler, just ld. the solution I used was to edit /usr/ucb/cc:   #!/bin/sh
  /usr/ucb/ld $*

and make sure /usr/ucb, and /usr/ccs/bin are in the path (for cc, ld , make etc). Also, on 7.1.4, and 7.0.15, I have successfully used gcc to compile and link stuff, so I guess it's goo for the install too... Nick Received on Wed May 31 1995 - 00:00:00 CEST
