Not so easy. You have to compile it yourself: http://blogs.sun.com/timc/entry/building_gcc_4_x_on Last time that I did that was for gcc 2.8.1, some years ago. Then, I used packages provided by http://www.sunfreeware.com/ until Sun bundled gcc with solaris. But only gcc 3.4.6 is currently available. -- Enrico
