Try export CC='gcc' or CC='/path/to/gcc' then clean and re-run configure Or clean and run configure CC='/path/to/gcc' Or even both. Watch out for ar as well, I've had that do the same thing on Solaris 8. I usually add CC='/opt/sfw/bin/gcc' and AR='/opt/sfw/bin/gcc' to all my configure's and make's ------------------------------------------------------ Mailman-Users mailing list Mailman-Users@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/mailman-users Mailman FAQ: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/mailman-users%40python.org/ Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/mailman-users/archive%40jab.org Security Policy: http://www.python.org/cgi-bin/faqw-mm.py?req=show&file=faq01.027.htp
