Ok - I'm trying to compile various 'nix programs however it seems that after the base-install of Solaris 9 I do not have the following software already pre-installed:
gcc
make
wget
I have noticed that when I try to get gcc, it needs to be commpiled. Now can someone explain to me, that if i do NOT currently have gcc, and I am trying to get gcc, how do I compile the gcc program, if i don't have a compiler? Catch 22??
Also, make relies on gcc, so we're back to gcc again.
I was going to try to use pkg-get to just manually install some of the pkg files, however pkg-get needs wget. Unfortunately, wget needs to be compiled also, so we're back to gcc.
Whats the next step here in getting these to compile / install properly? Am I missing a step? It seems to me that I need a compiler, to make a compiler. What gives?

gcc
make
wget
