With that bit of wisdom in mind, I stand corrected, and here is the error message I 
get:


# find / -name gcc | sed -n '/gcc$/p'
find: /mnt/floppy: Input/output error
find: /mnt/cdrom: Input/output error
# 

(returns the I/o errors and then returns a prompt)

I should have noted this before:  You should almost always just
go ahead and append the actual error messages (not pages and
pages of them, but you're only talking about 15 lines) rather
than a description of them, which may involve an unwarranted
conclusion or unspoken assumption.  Maybe it is just a path
error, but that seems like an odd thing to find in a stock
system.
