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
