did you get this from sunfreeware? you might have to use the pkg command.

Hi jaymzter,

Thanks for ur advice. I did get it from Sun, it's a GCC freeware. Anyway it works when using pkgadd -d <filename>. Cheers!

The softwares available at sunfreeware.com which are in *local.gz format are packages.. So one needs to unzip them to get in actual package format and add the package using pkgadd command..
