Easy to see my previous comments just go to the opensolaris.org website and click on the discussions. I didn't want gcc removed I was talking about upgrading the old rev. But as James said it has nothing to do with the opensolaris distribution. I did however suggest moving the gnu compiler to the compainion cd which could be available from the opensolaris distribution site but James pointed out that there is no companion cd. But than again having the studio compiler as part of the standard opensolaris should solve that. > > > Note also that these issues are really Solaris > issues, and not Open > > Solaris.
