SSH Configuration

[warmpapi]

Hi,

I am trying to install SSH on a solaris 8 system. I pulled down the SSH3-0.1 tar file and have untarred the file.

I am at the point where i need to run configure;make
but when i run this it tells me that cc can't create executables. I always have trouble with this because I dont know anything about compilers and how this stuff is suppose to work. I just want to get SSH installed on the server and have the daemon running. Can anyone provide some assistance or direction when they have time. Thanks

Do you have the compiler installed correctly? The compiler that comes included with the operating system isn't sufficient.

I can't get the C compiler to work, it says the C compiler cant create executables...I downloaded gcc and it still doesn't work.

cause i can't get the C compiler to create executables.

Any software recommended off of sunfreeware?

By the way, I couldn't get to that website and thanks for the help
