So after i soon find out that I have no gcc compiler and make is not installed.

Both of these statements are incorrect. You have gcc installed and two versions of make are installed by default with Solaris.

So i followed someones online instructions and figured out how to install gcc and make.

That wasn't necessary. You now have two versions of gcc and three make ...

Tried to install nano again and got the same error.

But still none is in your PATH, which is the real issue you have.

So i found out about this "echo $root command and tried that and I get a blank line.

I don't know where you find this "echo $root" command but it is irrelevant. A blank line is to be expected.

I don't know what to do now. I understand that I need to have these directories as my $root, but I can't seem to figure out how. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

You are confusing root/path with PATH
just do:
Code:
PATH=$PATH:/usr/sfw/bin:/usr/gnu/bin:/usr/ccs/bin
export PATH
./configure
Alternatively, you can just install a nano binary package instead of compiling it yourself.
