What version of Solaris are you using?
Solaris 8 does not come with a compiler.
if you are using 8 and have not install a compiler you should probably get gcc because it is free.

This sounds like a path problem.

- In normal user account I do a "which gcc" or "which cc" (which ever I am looking for)
- If found I then echo $PATH
- su to root
- PATH=&lt;copy/paste output from echo above&gt;
- export PATH
- verify success by trying the "which" command again.

If which now finds cc or gcc then you can truck on. If not, post back with your new output. Good luck.

Incidentally, this is not true. You have to install the correct software set that it is included in. However, I agree that you should install gcc and use it instead.
