how did you install gcc? did you download the tardist from freeware.sgi.com? if so, i'd recommend to get the binutils also an then try again. make sure that you can call gcc (i.e. have set the correct path in /etc/profile). you can lookup where gcc lives with 'find / -name gcc' ('which gcc' won't work without having it in you PATH). gcc -V should get you something after that. and then you'll be ready to build software with gcc. cheers, -- Timo Schoeler | http://macfinity.net/~tis | [EMAIL PROTECTED] //macfinity -- finest IT services | http://macfinity.net Key fingerprint = F844 51BE C22C F6BD 1196 90B2 EF68 C851 6E12 2D8A There are 10 types of people in the world.
