Thanks for the info. Now that I've investigated, the problem is if you "su" from term you get a minimal $PATH:
# echo $PATH if you Ctrl-Alt-F1 or do a "su -" as you suggest you get a much more complete path... the important one in this case being: /usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc-bin/3.2 you can change the default $PATH but hey, 'su -' works without any effort.
