You didn't read what I said, I said it is the _official_ _OpenSolaris_ _GCC_. It is the GCC found in the standard OpenSolaris repository as thus *should* work. GCC from gnu.org *may* not work, if OpenSolaris put back code to make it work on OpenSolaris and the changes haven't been committed to the main code, then getting the code from gnu.org may not work. Generally, the standard repo should contain the software most people want and a version that should work with OpenSolaris. Therefore, generally the standard repo should be the first port of call for installing anything, surely? _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
