checking host system type... i386-pc-solaris2.11
configure: autobuild project... GNU coreutils
configure: autobuild revision... 6.4

checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/ginstall -c
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... build-aux/install-sh -c -d
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for style of include used by make... GNU
checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl.exe... no
configure: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH
See `config.log' for more details.

Upon reading the final few lines i found out that C compiler was not being detected...
this is not possible as gcc and c are both in /usr/sfw/bin/
But when i echoed $PATH...
this destination was not set...
So i wanted to know how to edit $PATH so that i can specify pathsfor gcc and c and make it stay in $PATH over reboots....
I also searched for .bashrc but this not present in solaris (b83)so do i have to write my own .bashrc file,if so how do i do it?

thanks
add these lines:

Code:
PATH="$PATH:$HOME/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/root/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/opt/csw/bin:/opt/csw/sbin:/opt/csw/gcc3/bin:/usr/sfw/sbin:/usr/sfw/bin:/opt/csw/mysql5/bin"
export PATH

into your /etc/profile

systemd-path

SYSTEMD-PATH(1) 						   systemd-path 						   SYSTEMD-PATH(1)

NAME

       systemd-path - List and query system and user paths

SYNOPSIS

       systemd-path [OPTIONS...] [NAME...]

DESCRIPTION

       systemd-path may be used to query system and user paths. The tool makes many of the paths described in file-hierarchy(7) available for
       querying.

       When invoked without arguments, a list of known paths and their current values is shown. When at least one argument is passed, the path
       with this name is queried and its value shown. The variables whose name begins with "search-" do not refer to individual paths, but instead
       to a list of colon-separated search paths, in their order of precedence.

OPTIONS

       The following options are understood:

       --suffix=
	   The printed paths are suffixed by the specified string.

       -h, --help
	   Print a short help text and exit.

       --version
	   Print a short version string and exit.

EXIT STATUS

       On success, 0 is returned, a non-zero failure code otherwise.
