It really sucks how the commercial Unixes charge you extra for basic
tools like the compiler.  I've got good news and bad news for you.
The bad news is, as far as I know, there's no prepackaged Solaris 7
binaries for GNOME.  The good news is there are prepackaged binaries
for all the GNU tools you need to compile stuff, including GNOME.  Go to
http://smc.vnet.net/ for more info.

After you get familiar with the tools, if you (or anyone else) start
making Solaris 2.6 or Solaris 7 packages of GNOME, let us know at
webmaster@gnome.org so we can either link to your page or include the
packages on the FTP server.

Best of Luck,
