Re: How Do Binary Repair
Okay, please walk me through this one, since I can't afford to screw it up. The server is on the other side of the planet, so reinstalling from an iso is impractical. How do I fetch the base files? Hi Rachel, I'm not 100% sure but I think you need to login to a FreeBSD FTP mirror, download a recent GCC binary from the installation files and put it in place of the old one. Maybe someone can confirm? HTH, Matt ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

TIA, Rachel You're barking up the wrong tree. There's nothing at all wrong with your system compiler. See your other thread about your problems with Zope. You've mistaken using python to repair the python libraries that interface with the C libraries with using gcc to fix something. You admit that you were able to successfully compile and install Zope from the ports system, which uses the system C compiler. If you don't believe me try installing some other ports, or even cd /usr/src make buildworld. (which won't actually touch anything, it's completely safe to do) If you run into compiler issues doing that *THEN* you can start to deal with a corrupted C compiler. Until then I think you'd be money ahead to look at the FreeBSD-specific patches that are applied during the Zope build from the port, and the additional magic that is done in the port's Makefile. I suspect the differences between the port and your hand installation are the root of your problem. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

82- Original Message From: Kris Kennaway [EMAIL PROTECTED] Reinstall from backup or fresh binary media. So go to GNU and look for a gcc tarball and have at it. But that's not the FBSD way of doing things, is it? I wouldn't do that with MySQL, for example, I'd use the port, right? So, what's the FBSD way of doing this? TIA, Rachel Have a burning question?

If it was some other file you damaged, you could repair it by just recompiling from source, but the compiler is a critical part of the FreeBSD system and you obviously can't fix a broken compiler by recompiling with itself.
