All, I have resolved this issue - Found workable Samba 3.0.10 package on www.sunfreeware.com. NB - I was looking for this package at samba.org Not gnu.org or sun.com (where I was looking for gcc) Thanks, Barry

I seem to have two options for installation with option 1 being much less involved: 1/. Install pkg 2/. Compile binaries I could not find the latest package for the above O/S at gnu.org or sun.com - there was not much there at all in fact, so I tried to compile (didn't know I don't have a compiler until I found the below when running configure): ./configure: cc: command not found configure:1708: $? = 127 configure:1717: result: configure:1804: checking for gcc configure:1833: result: no configure:1884: checking for cc configure:1913: result: no configure:1926: checking for cc configure:1972: result: no configure:2025: checking for cl configure:2054: result: no configure:2068: error: no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH See `config.log' for more details. I looked around for a compiler and Ideally I would like one that Sun supports. I found gcc (not supported by Sun) for Solaris 9 & 10 on sun.com but not solaris 8. Questions: 1/. Is there a recent & working Samba package for above Solaris 8 64-bit available anywhere? 2/. Is there a Sun supported/supplied compiler suitable for installing Samba & if so where? I have a call in at Sun for point 2 but would appreciate any info you can give me on this.
