ucbcc is not a compiler.
Don't waste your time trying to compile with it.
If you have /usr/ucb in your path, get rid of it.
Hopefully you will find a "cc" once you get that out of the way.
If not, you'll have to install gcc too.
It's possible to install gcc and emacs from source.
You just need enough space and the patience.
I had the same issues with admins not wanting to install XEmacs.
I convinced our admins to delegate the task to me and provide the space.
I don't remember Sol 8 specifically, but I know later versions
of Solaris include packages for emacs/xemacs but I still prefer to
compile my own versions.
