I think I forgot to install them first time. 
I reinstalled Linux yesterday from scratch, and basically installed
everything it offered. Everything works so far, though I think I installed
about half a dozen X servers before I realized what it was asking, so I may
have problems when I get round to setting X up.


I noticed when going through the man pages for gcc, that it can target Sparc
machines. Did I misunderstand this, or does it mean I can make a binary for
a Sun machine on my Linux machine?
Has anyone tried this - is it really just as simple as adding -mSparc  (or
whatever the option was) to the cc command?
