Thanks to everyone who has responded to this thread. I like Goswin's idea about putting the symlink in /usr/local/bin/, since this rules out the possibility of a later gcc package install resulting in something unintended. Anyway, I'm going to undo the symlink I have in place and see if the issue can't be solved by passing the correct variables when invoking make, and then I'll report back to the list. tony -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
