I tried to build and make as SU.

Actually, I meant to not run it as root (except for the install step), because from your initial info it looked like you might not have root access to gd.h and friends...

Anyhow, now that you're getting

/usr/ucb/cc:  language optional software package not installed

it looks as though you might not have a compiler installed, or rather, your setup is somewhat messy, so the right one isn't being found ;)   (/usr/ucb/cc typically is just a wrapper script...).

Just in case you do have a real compiler under /opt/SUNWspro/bin/cc, you might try adding /opt/SUNWspro/bin/ to your search path (at the beginning, i.e. export PATH=/opt/SUNWspro/bin:$PATH) before you start the build.

BTW, what is the output of perl -V? Do you have several versions of Perl installed?
