I'm trying to install procmail to a solaris 2.6 system. 
'make install' produces the following error:

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


Solaris 2 does not ship with a compiler: /usr/ucb/cc is merely a wrapper
"just in case" you buy Sun's compiler, and even then it's broken.
You should *never* use /usr/ucb/cc, /usr/ucbinclude, or /usr/ucblib on a
Solaris 2.x system.  I strongly recommend that you remove the SUNWsrh and
SUNWsra packages and either remove /usr/ucb/cc or change the permissions
on it to 000: those files can only make your life miserable.

That said, you'll need to either buy Sun's compiler ("Forte C") or grab
gcc from sunfreeware.com.  Goto http://sunfreeware.com for more info.
