The Solaris operating system does not come with a C compiler as
standard - it is usually purchased as an extra, and installed in a
non-standard location.

Try "which cc" and "which make" to discover if you have these
components available.  If not, try adding /usr/ccs/bin to your PATH
variable first.  If that still fails, ask your local support staff
where you can find these essential tools.  (After you have found
your C compiler etc, you will need to remove config.cache and re-run
./configure before proceeding.)
