Installing GCC and Make on Solaris

Hi all - I'm a relative newbie at all this Unix stuff so I'm hoping that one of you will be able to help. I've got to start NFS processes on a UNIX box that I've set up but when I do that I get an error saying that Make doesn't work. I've downloaded Make from gnu.org but I then get a message saying that I need a C compiler. I then downloaded GCC from gnu.org but when I try and configure that it says it needs an environment variable setting for CC - well surely a C Compiler is what I'm trying to set up by setting up GCC so how can I set up GCC when I don't have a C Compiler?
I hope this makes sense and that you'll be able to help me somehow - a dummy's guide to setting up GCC would be excellent!

if you have no c compiler at all (which is unusual) you will need to start by locating a precompiled binary (at least to bootstrap with, i.e. GCC 2.95 or later) for your flavor of unix.

I would recommend you go to www.sunfreeware.com and download the packages you need for the version of Solaris you are running.

When you are ready to install them, go into the directory where you have them and do this:

pkgadd -d <package_name>
