I am having trouble installing gcc on a new Sun SPARC Classic.
I have ftp-ed the files for gcc version 2.3.3 and the binaries
for sun sparc running solaris2. 
As I am unfamiliar with installing software I have a question which
may be stupid: Is it possible to install gcc without having any
c compiler installed already? The instructions for installation
require the use of 'make', which I do not have on my machine at
present. It also seems that it is not possible to install 
the gnu version of make without access to a c compiler.
Am I missing something?
