[TriLUG] Making Solaris "feel" like Linux?

[Roy Vestal]

As for compiling under Solaris, your machine should have the gcc compiler. 
If it doesn't, you can use jeremy's suggestion of ./configure 
--prefix=$HOME and install GCC from www.sunfreeware.com.

The compilation process should be the same as under linux: configure then 
make then make install (depending on the program.).

HTH          
                                                                                
The install went very smoothly and the instructions are very good (Hey,         
I was able to follow them and I'm fairly newbie still).
