Hi Justin, thanks that cleared things up and I was able to proceed.
Also, I was able to build and install GCC without any issues but I didn't build the supporting packages (mpfr and gmp) and I don't have the devel package for them installed. I guess it would be safe to rebuild GCC =) after building mpfr and gmp! Kind Regards, Rajinder Yadav --- On Sat, 7/4/09, Justin P. Mattock <justinmatt...@gmail.com> wrote: > From: Justin P.
