Installing curl on Solaris 10

[tobyaw]

Install the Sun developer tools, and add /usr/ccs/bin to your path. Download http://curl.haxx.se/download/curl-7.16.4.tar.gz, then:

$ gunzip curl-7.16.4.tar.gz
$ tar -xvf curl-7.16.4.tar
$ cd curl-7.16.4
$ ./configure --without-ssl
$ make
$ su
# PATH=$PATH:/usr/ccs/bin
# export PATH
# make install

Hi Thanks for Replying.

Yes I added /usr/ccs/bin to your path. But I am not sure whether the C Compiler is installed on my server or not. Can you please help me how to check whether C Compiler installed in my server. IF not Installed. Please help me to Install the C Compiler..

Thanks,
NEL

You can check to see if you have a C compiler installed by typing “cc” or “gcc” at the command line. If neither are found, then you're missing the developer tools (or they aren’t in your path).

Since it’s a while since I installed them myself, I can’t remember the procedure for installing the developer tools. Perhaps it was a separate optional install on the OpenSolaris install disk.
