i have been trying to install GIT latest version in my Solaris 9 machine where m encountering error after running /usr/local/bin/make NO_OPENSSL=YesPlease NO_CURL=YesPlease prefix=/usr all:

 CC credential-store.o

/usr/ucb/cc: language optional software package not installed

make: *** [credential-store.o] Error 1

whereas when i do which gcc /usr/sfw/bin/gcc i get proper response and for which cc /usr/ucb/cc In the course of installation i tried upgrading my gcc version from gcc-3.2.2 to gcc 3.4.6 but still facing the error on installation.

Thanks in advance for suggestions.

(1) The compiler is not in your PATH variable. PATH is set to /usr/ucb/cc and your gcc is located in /usr/sfw/bin/gcc

You can either invoke the compiler using /usr/sfw/bin/gcc (with absolute/full path) instead of simply gcc

or set your PATH to

PATH=$PATH:/usr/sfw/bin (https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19683-01/806-7612/customize-8/index.html)

See this https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/12731/usr-ucb-cc-language-optional-software-package-not-installed

To set PATH persistently see https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/77380/solaris-permanently-update-path-for-all-users

If PATH is set then problem is maybe that in the makefile you use the compiler is invoked with cc and on your machine there is no link between gcc and cc. You can try to fix this with

(2) create symbolic link between gcc and cc ln -s /usr/sfw/bin/gcc /usr/ucb/cc (check if link exists with file /usr/ucb/cc or file /usr/sfw/bin/gcc) In this is more on creating and removing symbolic links https://askubuntu.com/questions/26498/choose-gcc-and-g-version

(3) change compiler invocation in the makefile, see this Force use gcc to compile (instead of cc) in ./configure under Solaris Sparc

  • Hello mate, Thanks for reply but i even tried in a server where path is all set with what u said. $PATH bash:/usr/sfw/bin:.... – Rayyan Apr 12 '16 at 10:59
  • Can you compile if you use the full path ? Try `/usr/sfw/bin/gcc -v` (prints the configuration of gcc) – ralf htp Apr 12 '16 at 14:32
