Ok, in that case it seems that there are in fact non-hard float versions of Raspbian. Your compiler may work because you also installed the ARMEL version of libc6-dev. That's another thing: * Chris may also to solve his problem by installing the ARMEL version of libc6-dev (package name: libc6-dev-armel ) * however, if he then compiles his program and gives the compiled binary to a customer, it may not work if they are using an ARM hard-float installation (unless they also install the libc6-dev-armel package). Of course, if compiles it for hard float and the customer has a softfp system, it will also cause problems. So maybe it would be useful to first determine whether the customer has an armel or armhf system.
