Berkeley database is a software package from sleepycat which allows
programs to maintain compact databases on disk. It is used by many
other programs.

Your message about no cc is probably because your version of Solaris
does not have a C compiler installed. You should try to get a
ready-compiled gcc for solaris from gnu.org or a mirror site,
