Keith,
I have an all packages 3.1.1 here and have both
gcc and tar. Could it be:
1) They have not been installed yet?
2) Check for
/bin/tar
/usr/bin/gcc
For the parallel port issue, is the parport kernel module
loaded? (lsmod | grep parport)
Is there IO ports allocated for parport (cat /proc/ioports | grep parport)?
