Installing gcc... apparently my system doesn't have it.

Hi,

I cannot find gcc on my solaris9 (sparc) server.

How can i install it?

I found the package on sunfreeware.com but that says that you must have the developer tools(?) installed on the system?

I have the Solaris9 box and a whole bunch of CDs in it... Solaris Installation, Software 1 of 2, Software 2 of 2, Software collections, etc etc but i don't know which one (if any) would have gcc on it. Or which one has the developer stuff on it that i aught to install before putting on the sunfreeware gcc package.

So, how do i go about installing gcc?

(and for future reference, is there an easy way to browse the contents of the install CDs? Is there something that lists the contents/what packages are on what disc?)

Many, many thanks,
mark - complete solaris newbie.
