Compiling on SS5 w/Solaris 7 but not cc?

[Scott Ehrlich]

Hello to all:

I've gotten my SS5 installed with Solaris 7 and talking on the net.  My
next battle is to install some basic apps, such as gcc and gzip.  Problem
is, cc returns the message/error "/usr/ucb/cc:  language optional software
package not installed" which, after some limited research, seems to be a
popular problem with the compiler.

Therefore, how do I get around Sun's included broken cc issue to perform
successful compiles of apps?

Thanks.

Scott
