I'm afraid that the development environment (i.e. compilers & linkers)
on Cumulus is still not usable. On a Solaris system, the C compiler
should be locatable under /opt/SUNWspro/bin. The stuff in /newsoftware
appears to be a simple unpacking of a tar-file rather than an
installation of a development environment.
Here's some advice from our head System Administrator:
You need a Forte Developer CD, version 7 is the most recent, but
version 6 (any update) is probably good enough. On that CD, you
will need to run the "installer" script which will present a GUI
that will allow the user to choose which software to install.
Once the installation is complete, then software licensing issues
need to be resolved to use the software. If necessary, Sun grants 30
day demo use licenses by calling 1-800-USA-4SUN.
