Hi,

why don't you download gcc from
http://hpux.cs.utah.edu/hppd/hpux/Gnu/gcc-2.95.2/
There you can get a version which you can install with swinstall and you hav not to compile it.

Greetings

Andrew

Andrew has the best solution for you. But, just to explain why you can't get it to compile is problably that you don't have a C compiler installed to run "make". The "make" command usually requires a C-compiler to be installed in order to run. HP-UX does not come with the C - compiler installed, you have to purchase it separate.

Somebody help me out here, isn't the big thing about UNIX that it is "a rich & versatile programming interface" [Uresh Vahalia, UNIX Internals 96]. Why does HP and Sun both take away the programming part and make you pay for it?
