My original questions were:
1. Does anyone know how to build & install the POP 3 (Post Office Protocol 3)
server on a system running Solaris 2.4 and another system running
SunOS 4.1.3?
2. How to build & install gcc compiler on Solaris 2.4 system?
In my knowledge, there is no C compiler bundled with Solaris 2.x any more.
So how can we use a system that comes without a C compiler to try to
compile source codes to make another compiler? (We cannot afford to buy
SunSoft's C Workshop.)

Thanks for those who responded. Follows are the answers to the question:
1. For POP 3 mail server, most people suggest me go to ftp://ftp.qualcomm.com
or http://www.qualcomm.com to get it. I tried it and it worked.
Also, in the file /etc/inetd.conf, the following entry need to be added:
pop stream tcp nowait root /usr/etc/popper popper
2. gcc for Solaris 2.x:
Got to ftp://ftp.prep.ai.mit.edu:/pub/gnu/sparc-sun-solaris2,
grab the file gcc-2.5.6.tar.gz, which can either be used as-is
or used to compile your own, newer version of gcc.
(There might be newer precompiled gcc binaries than the gcc-2.4.5.tar.gz,
if somebody has that, will you please let me know, thanks).
Thanks again for people who helped me out.
