Sun Studio 12 on very old Sun kit



Anyone know what's the oldest version of Solaris that Sun Studio 12
will run on? (not necessarily 'supported' on)

We've got an old Forte/TOOL application that we'd like to re-compile
on SunOS 2.6. We used to use (I think) Sun Workshop 5 but our licence
server has died and I don't know how to get a replacement.
I'm pretty sure that the version of Forte (3m02) wont install or run
on Solaris 9 or later.

I tried installing Studio 12 using the 'untar' method, on SunOS 2.6,
but when I try to run 'cc' I get
ld.so.1: cc: fatal: libpicl.so.1: open failed: No such file or
directory
which looks pretty terminal.

Reading the differences between Workshop 5 and Studio 12 I was hoping
they wouldn't be 'that' different - as far as the command line
compiler was concerned. But I guess I was being too optimistic!

TIA
.
