[mrtg] Installing RRDTool on Solaris 10 from source code(tar ball)

[anjini shukla]

I tried to install rrdtool 1.2.28, after reading that  sun studio 11bugs are
fixed on this version<https://lists.oetiker.ch/pipermail/rrd-announce/2008-July/000111.html>and
am still getting these errors:

Using /usr/ucb/cc
*/usr/ucb/cc:  language optional software package not installed
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `RRDs.o'

*using /usr/local/bin/gcc

cc: unrecognized option `-KPIC'
cc: language ildoff not recognized
cc: RRDs.c: linker input file unused because linking not done
Running Mkbootstrap for RRDs ()
chmod 644 RRDs.bs
rm -f blib/arch/auto/RRDs/RRDs.so
LD_RUN_PATH="/usr/lib" cc  -G RRDs.o -L../../src/.libs/
-R/usr/local/rrdtool-1.2.28/lib -lrrd  -o blib/arch/auto/RRDs/RRDs.so   -lm
-lz
cc: RRDs.o: No such file or directory
*** Error code 1


what should I be doing..?

Thanks,
Anjini
