You can get Sun's compiler collection here:

http://wwws.sun.com/software/sundev/index.html

but it's not free, not at all. You can, however, get a 60 day trial
license for free.

OTOH, you can install the GNU compiler collection for free.

You might also want to read this FAQ and the next one:

Pay particular attention to the packages required for "development lib
and tools", since you say that you don't have them. Solaris -did- come
with them, with the exception of the compilers themselves.
