I think newer GCC releases (dunno when it started) do not install a specs file. However, there is a "gcc -dumpspecs" option to print the specs file so you can save it to the default location GCC would read it from if the specs file existed. However, the solution I posted will only work on some platforms. It won't work on HP-UX/IA, Tru64, nor AIX. Why? Because, on these systems, the runtime path option (+b, -rpath, -blibpath) is not additive (i.e. you cannot use these options more than once on the command-line). -- albert chin ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
