On a similar subject, I have been experiencing failures when I try to compile some sources with the make command usually exiting with some error along the lines of "gcc sparc 64 uknown" or something similar :)
It isn't a huge issue since I got the latest woody cd set (with so many pre compiled binaries to choose from) but I was wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. Yes I realise it is probably bleeding obvious but my experience is limited... thanks david On Tue, 2002-08-20 at 16:28, Scott Robert Ladd wrote: > I am a tad confused here, so bear with me... > > Okay: I have an Ultra 10, on which I've installed Debian 3.0r0.
