OSR5 FAQ

I installed gcc from Skunkware, but it doesn't work.

You need some libraries, header files and some other things that do not get installed by default.

To install these, insert your original OS CDROM, run custom, choose Install New and install the "SCO OpenServer Linker and Application Development Libraries" - note that these are NOT part of the Development System or Enterprise choices; you don't have to expand any packages, this is right at the top level. The instructions at the Skunkware site can throw you off because they tell you to look for "Application Development Libraries and Linker", which is not what is says on the CD's.
