in reply to Installing Perl on Unix

/usr/ucb/cc isn't much of a compiler on its own. Is SUNWspro properly installed on your system? If so, try giving -Dcc=/opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc to Configure.

Also important is this quote from README.solaris:

You don't need to have /usr/ucb/ in your PATH to build perl.  If you
want /usr/ucb/ in your PATH anyway, make sure that /usr/ucb/ is NOT
in your PATH before the directory containing the right C compiler.
Make sure you read README.solaris.

    Yes SUNSspro is on my machine how do I know if it is working okay?? Also I dont see /usr/ucb in my root .cshrc
      The fact "/usr/ucb" is or isn't in your root .cshrc isn't very relevant. It matters where it is in your PATH when you are running Configure (and make).

      To test whether your C compiler is installed correctly, try compiling something.
