What scripts, what errors? Your statement is rather vague ...
Here is a precise record for solaris:
http://www.lecb.ncifcrf.gov/~toms/gpc/
I ran the gpcbuild script and captured the result with script.
Actually I don't see any errors in this script!?
Do you mean this:
results should be in . now where is the gpc binary??????????
Well, when built, the binary is <build>/gcc/xgpc, and after installation it's <prefix>/bin/gpc. Who claims it should be in .???
To the authors of the gpcbuild script:
: unpackaging gpc-2.1.tar.gz ... : tar: z: unknown option : Usage: tar {txruc}[vfbFXhiBEelmopwnq[0-7]] [-k size] [tapefile] [blocksize] [exclude-file] [-I include-file] files ... : tar: z: unknown option : Usage: tar {txruc}[vfbFXhiBEelmopwnq[0-7]] [-k size] [tapefile] [blocksize] [exclude-file] [-I include-file] files ... : tar tzf does not work on this system.
I don't think it's particularly elegant to try the (GNU tar specific) `z' option and retry if not available. The following should work with every tar (as noted in GPC's install notes):
gzip -cd ARCHIVE.tar.gz | tar xf -
(I also recommend omitting the `v' since the rather unimportant output of tar made up about 80% of the typescript.)
`[g]make -s' might also be appropriate for `install'.
