samba for solaris 9 help!!

I'm trying to install samba-3.0.0, I downloaded it from samba.org. After extracting the tarball i cd into source and typed ./congifure and it's responding back like:

checking for gcc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cc... no
checking for cl... no
configure: error: no acceptable C Compiler found in $PATH

I su to root and still does same thing. I'm new to Solaris and still learning. I am currently trying to install samba on Solaris 9 x86 platform. Any input about this problem would be greatly appreciated.

If I added a new thread and another similar question was already posted I apologized, I searched with keywords samba and installing samba but the threads about it was locked, and the previous answer didn't really answer my question.

.......

well, it seems that you don't have installed any Compiler. Look at www.sunfreeware.com and you will find a precompiled gcc package for your solaris...
when you have installed a compiler yet, you have to set the direcory to your $PATH..
# find / -name gcc -print
/usr/local/bin/gcc
# PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin/

Solaris 9 does not come with a compiler by default - you have to install your own.

The above suggestion is right on. I've used the gcc from sunfreeware.com before. It is the easiest way to get a complier for a Sol 9 system.

Do I have to download and install "MAKE" from www.gnu.org also? Or does Solaris already provide that with the installation?

You should have a copy of make in /usr/ccs/bin/make. I believe you do not need to download make unless for some reason you prefer the gnu version to what comes with the OS.

Check www.sunfreeware.com if they have a precompiled samba in solaris pkg format.

If not go download gcc and gmake from www.sunfreeware.com and install them

make sure / usr/local/bin/ is in your path (u may also need /usr/ccs/bin in you path. Make sure you put it after /usr/local/bin so you dont use the make in there but the gmake in /usr/local/bin/)

then try
./configure
make
make install
in your samba src directory..

thanks, I'm stuck one step behind, I'm trying to install gcc now. I go it to install on my linux box, but i'm working on my solaris machine now, I think i have to set the path name first, browsing through the forums I saw someone mention a step on how to do it. I haven't tried it yet because I'm at work right now, but I will when i get home, thanks for everybody that put in their input.

--heh, it was presby that told me the step
