make utility missing in solaris

[ashoo]

Hi all,
I have installed sun solaris 8 on Intel box. Now I am trying to install Oracle 9i for solaris(Intel) but i am not able to do it.
The problem is that solaris is not having "make" utility.
I could not get it by "find" command.
Can anybody tell me why i am not having "make" utility, and how can i find one.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Ashoo

what is the output of the command

whereis make
on my machine its something like

whereis make
make: /usr/ccs/bin/make

or type man make.If there is no output then you need to install it from the Solaris CD.if there is some output then Oracle is not bale to find it.Make sure it is in your path.

regards

On my box there in no such command (make) nor man pages shows anything.

I have installed solaris 2 times but I am unable to get this command installed, can you plese tell me how can I install it from the solaros cd.

if you do something like :

pkginfo | egrep -i 'gcc|make'

do you get something like :

application SMCgcc gcc
system SUNWxcu4t XCU4 make and sccs utilities


if not, then the packages are not installed, and that's why you can neither use make nor compile...

solution is : install the packages

thats what i want know how to install the packages from solaris cd's.

installation is always made with the pkgadd utility.

all you have to do is either locate the package file on the CD using a find, or download it from the web (sunfreeware.com).

then man pkgadd, and you're done
