gcc is already present in most installations outside the minimized ones in /usr/sfw/bin/gcc.
emacs is however missing so must be installed should you really need it.
SVR4 packaging doesn't automatically handle dependancies, that's one of the reason Solaris switched to a new packaging system with Solaris 11.
Yes, you very likely miss to set the PATH variable for the installed commands to be reachable.
would be a good start.
Again, Solaris 11 has simplified this area.
Sorry my knowledge is limited to the last few weeks, what exactly is the course of action I take now to get emacs and gcc working via commands?
Do I need to add
to the passwd file or something?
EDIT: It should be worth noting that I'm wanting to get the command line version of emacs working, is this installed along with the gui version? I was able to open the gui version by finding the install with the find command mentioned above.
Thanks!
By the way is Solaris 11 significantly better than 10 u11 or should I just keep on using 10?

shells
shells(4) File Formats shells(4)NAME
shells - shell database
SYNOPSIS
/etc/shells
DESCRIPTION
The shells file contains a list of the shells on the system. Applications use this file to determine whether a shell is valid. See getuser-
shell(3C). For each shell a single line should be present, consisting of the shell's path, relative to root.
A hash mark (#) indicates the beginning of a comment; subsequent characters up to the end of the line are not interpreted by the routines
which search the file. Blank lines are also ignored.
The following default shells are used by utilities: /bin/bash, /bin/csh, /bin/jsh, /bin/ksh, /bin/ksh93, /bin/pfcsh, /bin/pfksh, /bin/pfsh,
/bin/sh, /bin/tcsh, /bin/zsh, /sbin/jsh, /sbin/sh, /usr/bin/bash, /usr/bin/csh, /usr/bin/jsh, /usr/bin/ksh, /usr/bin/ksh93, /usr/bin/pfcsh,
/usr/bin/pfksh, /usr/bin/pfsh, and /usr/bin/sh, /usr/bin/tcsh, /usr/bin/zsh, and /usr/sfw/bin/zsh. /etc/shells overrides the default list.
Invalid shells in /etc/shells could cause unexpected behavior, such as being unable to log in by way of ftp(1).
