It would have helped if you have stayed in the original thread instead of starting new ones while still investigating the same issue.
Anyway, did you check is the SFWgcc package is reported to be installed by the OS ?

why would sysadmin go ahead and remove the gcc out of there?
You do not provide evidence gcc has been removed from there.

DukeNUke2: I am very close! I got the gcc tar package and unloaded it locally, then gcc complained about libiconv.so.2:

...which I know is a dependency, so I brought over:
libiconv-1.14-sol10-sparc-local

but that only has "libiconv.so.2.5.1" in it!!

even if I rename that to libiconv.so.2, how do I make gcc point to it? LD_LIBRARY_PATH does not work.... -L flag also did not do it on gcc...

Hah! I hope all the security "experts" out there are also completely removing all forms of Perl from their machines.

And that's just one way to get around someone who thinks "I can make a system more secure by deleting compilers".

No you can't. Because you're not really changing what any user can actually DO.

All: I am DONE!! finitto! I threw in a sym link from
libiconv.so.2 to libiconv.so.2.5.1. Then include 2 other directories in the lib path using LD_LIBRARY_PATH
-SMCliconv/reloc/lib
-SMCgcc/reloc/lib
and the damn code compiled and linked.
..And I am home free

And concluded that one can indeed install the entire gcc locally without root access and it does still work like normal.

Thanks for all your help!
