Who is Schlumberger and do they have sysadmins there?
Because if they do, you'd better ask a sysadmin (or prepare
to be larted).

First of all, Solaris 8 comes with a bunch of GNU tools.
Secondly, many GNU tools are available in native Solaris pkg
format (from e.g. sunfreeware or ibiblio). If they aren't in
/usr/local/bin already, maybe your sysadmin didn't install them
for a reason.
Thirdly, software that comes with ./configure script usually
compiles on Solaris out of the box.
Finally, most software comes with README, INSTALL etc. files
that contain detailed explanations of how to compile and install
it, including platform-specific instructions (if any). But then,
you knew that, right?
