The specific problem you're running in to here is that configure is trying to compile *and run* some Fortran tests. Which obviously doesn't work in a cross-compiling environment. You can work around this, however, either by disabling Fortran (which you did), or you can pre-populate configure's answers to the Fortran tests (so that it doesn't actually have to run anything). However, we have never fully documented the procedure on how to do this (it's not straightforward, and definitely not for the weak of heart). If you don't need Fortran, simply disabling Fortran is probably your best bet. -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
