Dear Ray, It sounds to me that your login shell belongs to the C Shell family (csh, tcsh, etc.) as opposed to the Bourne shell family (sh, bash, ksh, zsh, etc.) The syntax "CC=cc ... ./configure ..." only works in shells that understand Bourne shell syntax. In a C Shell, to the best of my recollection, you need to use the setenv command to set the variables, and then run configure. There may be a more compact way to do the following, but I can guarantee that this works:
setenv CC cc setenv CFLAGS "-64" setenv LDFLAGS "-64" ./configure Please note that there is one major difference between these latter C Shell commands and the former Bourne shell command: the latter changes the current shell's environment, so a subsequent ./configure command will inherit the same CC, CFLAGS and LDFLAGS values, whereas the former temporarily changes the environment for the commang being executed. Therefore, you may want to prevent your original C Shell environment from being modified using one of the following methods: (1) open a new shell, run the above commands, and exit; (2) run the above commands from an executable script file; or (3) unset the CC, CFLAGS and LDFLAGS variables using unsetenv. I hope this helps. -Eskandar --- "Sung, Raymond CW" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes Billo, I have a C++ compiler installed and I > managed to compile > another program successfully using it.
