Hi Jim, Thanks for the info. I did the following and am still requiring some support
I downloaded ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.7.tar.gz ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.7.tar.gz.sig gpg --verify coreutils-8.7.tar.gz.sig && I don't have gpg on my node. Do I have to install another package to install this? Also if I ever run && on my node it just returns a prompt like this > I don't know if it is relevant for solaris or if it's a linux thing, or maybe again I just don't have a certain package installed? gzip -dc coreutils-8.7.tar.gz | tar xf - && (cd coreutils-8.7 && ./configure && make && make -k check ) >& log I ran ./configure; make; make -k check > log Nothing was written to the log file but config.log file was written and is attached to this email. It seems I don't have everything required to create the package, from the config.log "configure:4449: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH". Can you advise what else is required to in order to run the configure correctly?

If you have the xz program (from the xz-utils package), do this: wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.7.tar.xz wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.7.tar.xz.sig gpg --verify coreutils-8.7.tar.xz.sig && xz -dc coreutils-8.7.tar.xz | tar xf - && (cd coreutils-8.7 && ./configure && make && make -k check ) >& log Otherwise, do this: wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.7.tar.gz wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.7.tar.gz.sig gpg --verify coreutils-8.7.tar.gz.sig && gzip -dc coreutils-8.7.tar.gz | tar xf - && (cd coreutils-8.7 && ./configure && make && make -k check ) >& log
config.log
