Here's the original question:

GNUgcc.2.8.1.SPARC.Solaris.2.6.pkg.tgz from

Answer:
cd to /var/tmp and do a
pkgadd -d . GNUgcc
as root and that should install the package whereever it want's to
install to..
Further Information:
The simplest way to install gcc 2.8.1 on Sol 2.6 is to download the
package from http://smc.vnet.net/solaris_2.6.html
<http://smc.vnet.net/solaris_2.6.html> . Gunzip the pkg and do a
pkgadd -d nameoffile where nameoffile is the gunzipped file. This will
install gcc on your system. Unless you need to install gcc in a
specific directory this will work.
Did you smile today?
