Hi Jim, The command that _should_ be executed is something like this: g++ -o alphabetparameters.o -c -O2 alphabetparameters.cpp As you can see, the 'g++' bit is missing, which seems to indicate that you don't have the GNU C++ compiler installed. You should use the package manager to install 'g++', and then you'll be able to compile (remember to apply that one-line patch I mentioned in message #981). When I install a Linux system, the first thing I do is to install the C/C++ compilers, so it didn't even occur to me that you might not have those installed on your system. IMHO, the Quackle build process should check for these dependencies before starting the build, instead of just plodding along and spewing cryptic errors, but I guess John and Jason are busy working on getting Quackle to play a better game of Scrabble, and the build process isn't too important to them right now. -- Anand
