So, when I try "gcc - version " will output correctly?
No, you need to put /usr/sfw/bin (without /gcc) in your PATH.
The PATH variable is a list of directories where the shell looks for executables. /usr/sfw/bin/gcc is an executable, not a directory.
Quote:
In general, how do you install package correctly ?
Under Solaris, the command is "pkgadd " with various options.
Quote:
say if gcc (any package) was not installed. Where would you install it ?
Don't confuse the temporary location where you download the package file and the location where the package files are deployed. The former is some temporary directory your can safely remove after the operation while the latter is (usually) hard-coded by the package creator.
Quote:
Would you not create folder, unzip it and then run package from there ?
No, and that is the problem you had. Don't create any target directory. The pkgadd command will do it for you. And don't create temporary directories in locations that belong to the OS, like /usr.
Use /tmp, /var/tmp, your home directory or top level non standard directories (eg: /software) for your temporary files.

lint

lint(1B)                                             SunOS/BSD Compatibility Package Commands                                             lint(1B)

NAME

       lint - C program verifier

SYNOPSIS

       /usr/ucb/lint [options]

DESCRIPTION

       /usr/ucb/lint  is  the  interface  to  the  BSD  Compatibility  Package  C  program  verifier.   It  is  a  script  that looks for the link
       /usr/ccs/bin/ucblint to the C program verifier. /usr/ccs/bin/ucblint is available only with the SPROcc package, whose default  location  is
       /opt/SUNWspro.  /usr/ucb/lint  is  identical to /usr/ccs/bin/ucblint, except that BSD headers are used and BSD  libraries are linked before
       base libraries.  The /opt/SUNWspro/man/man1/lint.1 man page is available only with the SPROcc package.

OPTIONS

       /usr/ucb/lint accepts the same options as /usr/ccs/bin/ucblint, with the following exceptions:

       -Idir           Search dir for included files whose names do not begin with a slash (/) prior  to  searching  the  usual  directories.  The
                       directories for multiple -I options are searched in the order specified. The preprocessor first searches for #include files
                       in the directory containing sourcefile, and then in directories named with -I options (if any), then  /usr/ucbinclude,  and
                       finally, in /usr/include.

       -Ldir           Add  dir  to  the  list  of  directories  searched  for  libraries  by  /usr/ccs/bin/ucblint.  This  option  is  passed  to
                       /usr/ccs/bin/ld. Directories specified with this option are searched before /usr/ucblib and /usr/lib.

       -Y P, dir       Change the default directory used for finding libraries.

EXIT STATUS

       The following exit values are returned:

       0               Successful completion.

       >0              An error occurred.

FILES

       /usr/lint/bin/ld        link editor

       /usr/lib/libc           C library

       /usr/ucbinclude         BSD Compatibility directory for header files

       /usr/ucblib             BSD Compatibility directory for libraries

       /usr/ucblib/libucb      BSD Compatibility C library

       /usr/lib/libsocket      library containing socket routines

       /usr/lib/libnsl         library containing network functions

       /usr/lib/libelf         library containing routines to process ELF object files

       /usr/lib/libaio         library containing asynchronous I/O routines
