Install GCC Compiler
It has been my experience that over the years that in different UNIX environments that the first thing I do, on a new platform, is to install the latest GCC compiler. GCC is a cross platform compiler and opens your world to myriad utilities. <BR>
It it my strong suggestion that you install the GCC compiler on at least one of your platforms so you can compile executables specific to your environment and architecture easily. Any search for code that I would do to would be in GCC archives, BTW.
I've worked in big HP shops, Sun shops, etc. in all those shops, I've always installed a GCC compiler very quickly. If you can't do it on a production platform, the next best thing is to install on a development platform in the lab.
