With gcc and a few other applications Mandrake supply two versions. The default gcc3.2, and the older tried and tested gcc2.96
It is possible to have one or both installed at once. Which one gets used depends on the symlink /usr/bin/gcc which points to /etc/alternatives/gcc which itself is a symlink either to /usr/bin/gcc-3.2 or /usr/bin/gcc-2.96 So depending on how your symlink chain is set up you will use one compiler or the other. If your symlink chain is broken you will get the 'gcc not found message' Could that be your problem? derek On Sunday 05 Jan 2003 7:04 pm, Ralph M.
