SUMMARY: /usr/ucb/cc error message - gcc compiling problem.

Thank you all who replied:
Sanchet Surendra Dighe, Gaziz Nugmanov, Lincoln Nelson, Dan Lowe, Kevin 
Inscoe, Chris Kurtz, Dennis Lovelady, greg@cheers.bungi.com, Terry McClurg, 
Alex Stade, Christopher Barnard.

Solutions (Based on Dan Lowe):
# mv /usr/ucb/cc /usr/ucb/cc.ORI
# ln -s /usr/local/bin/gcc /usr/ucb/cc OR
# ln -s /opt/sfw/bin/gcc /usr/ucb/cc

If you're using GNU autoconf and/or make you can also just set the
environment variable "CC" to "gcc":
CC=gcc		# bash, sh, ksh, zsh
setenv CC gcc	# csh, tcsh

Note: Putting /usr/ucb at the end of path doesn't work. I tried it before. 
Some packages such as Saint are smart enough to find 'gcc'. Some packages 
such as Crack are not.
