Scott -
     I know you can get binaries at prep.ai.mit.edu, but unless you're quite
experienced with the implementation it may still be a struggle. The
documentation that comes with the zipped files is cryptic, in my opinion. In
our case, we're looking for the same thing you are, but for Solaris on an
Intel platform. I've looked all over the place for alternatives and here's
what I found: Cygnus (reachable at www.cycnus.com) does sell a supported gcc
with hardcopy docs for $1400 (per user), but for that amount you can buy gcc
and two other compilers from Sun Express for $1399. I think we'll probably
just use a good local unix consultant to build gcc at a reasonable hourly
rate. He says it will probably take about a day. To me that seems most
reasonable, and maybe I'll learn something in the process, and it should be
cheaper, too.

Subject: GNU binaries for Solaris on SparcStation

Priority: Low

Can anybody tell me where I can find pre-compiled binaries for gcc and/or
g++?  Since the brain surgeons at Sun don't include a C compiler with
their SparcStations (at least there's not one on this station running
2.3), I have no way to compile source, thus I need binaries.  Any help
would be great appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Scott
