Just be sure to set this in your path before the path where an older gcc compiler is, not sure if you have an older gcc installed do the following: echo $PATH to check what your current path`s are. export PATH=/usr/sfw/libexec/gcc/i386-pc-solaris2.11/3.4.3:/usr/sfw/bin:/( Etc you want in your PATH setup ) You can set the default PATH for root and regular users in: /etc/default/login and /etc/default/su. set PATH and SUPATH in both of those files to something useful like : PATH=/opt/csw/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/dt/bin:/usr/openwin/bin:/usr/ccs/bin Matt -- Matthew Whittaker-Williams Quanza Engineering B.V.
