pkgadd

I am adding gcc 3.3.2 to my unix box what is the best way
to do it????

the way the instructions tell you.

good one Optimus..it's too easy sometimes

since the subject is pkgadd, I'm assuming that's an option. It will do everything for you. It's pretty simple.
Do a man on pkgadd.

Optimus_P ...tell them

pkgadd -d <path to gcc package>

solaris packages usually have .pkg suffix

also if u omit the -d flag it will default to the /var/spool/pkg directory

moral of the story read man page only takes a few minutes !!

not in most situations. man pages aren't always to the point which is what most unix admins that work in a fast pace environment WANT
