I installed Solaris 10 (Intel) and it doesn't seem to include either
gcc or emacs. They weren't installed and I searched for them in all the
packages in the distribution CDs: they don't seem to be there...

So I downloaded the binaries for gcc-3.3.2 (these seem to work fine),
and the source code for emacs-21.3. When building the binaries for
emacs evrything compiles OK, but at the end I get a core dump when it
tries to build some kind of memory image dump... Anyway, I can run the
compiled Emacs, it seems to be working ok, but each time I exit the
program (Ctrl-X Ctrl-C) it generates a core dump!

Has anyone here been succesful in getting emacs to run on Solaris 10?

You know gcc is included with Solaris 10 located in
/usr/sfw/bin/gcc

As for emacs it might just be easier to install the Companion CD which
emacs will install in /opt/sfw/bin or you can get emacs precompiled
from www.blastwave.org. The Sun Companion CD should be available for
free download on the www.sun.com downloads area.

I get the same problem with gcc-3.4.3 (compiled from source) on
Solaris 9. After backing off to gcc-3.2.3, Emacs compiles and runs
perfectly. I did not try any intermediate versions of gcc, so there
may be good versions of gcc 3.3 or 3.4. My compiled versions use
Sun's "as" and "ld".
