Asking the question often reveals the answer. I had a symlink to my compiler's tools which resulted in make and cpp et.al. appearing in my path twice. I do not know why this caused the gcc to loop, but it did. Solution: must have properly installed gcc with no residue from earlier installs. -sam Earlier today, I asked: > >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: gcc (2.95.2) loops spawning cpp compiling cryptolib.c in openssl-0.9.6 >Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2000 12:01:17 -0400 >From: "Sam C.
