Solaris installs often lack C compilers and their related tools.
Read this FAQ
for information on why using GNU versions for some of these
tools is necessary. The required software is as follows:
gcc (recommended, other C compilers may work)
make
flex
bison
m4
autoconf
automake
perl
gzip
tar
GNU sed
In addition, you will need to install (and possibly compile) any
additional software specific to your configuration, such as Oracle
or MySQL.
