Hi Ken,
1. The list. It's fugged. Do you get a confirmation email asking you to confirm? And
does it say
to do this by hitting "reply"? If so, hit instead "reply-all" and see if you get a
different list
of recipients. If so, maybe one or two of them include entries like
[EMAIL PROTECTED] or
[EMAIL PROTECTED], which appear in all of the reply-to fields in the list emails.
Remove them,
and make sure you're sending to the correct confirmation address. This has been going
on for like
3 weeks now i think, it's rediculous. Maybe Mandrake is trying to subtly push us over
to the forum
on their website...which is an awesome forum, by the way...more response from "the
officials".
2. If gcc doesn't work then you don't have a hope of compiling a kernel. Fix your gcc
and then
worry about your kernel. The only thing i can suggest for fixing it is to uninstall
gcc and
reinstall it, via rpm. But i don't really know if this will do it, and if it doesn't i
don't know
what will. Sorry :-)
Good luck with all that,
j
