Where can I go to download a later version of GNU code for gccgdb suitable for a FreeBSD system? I went to the GNU site but all I found there was source code ( .c.h ), useless without a working compiler. Also, even if I had found a working binary, how would I know if it is for FreeBSD , LINUX , Solaris , or some other system? Are there inexpensive but good working commercial compilers suitable for a FreeBSD system? If so, what are they and how can their distributors be contacted? What about shareware or freeware? I can't believe that FreeBSD's gcc version doesn't work. It's more likely that your code needs libraries you don't have, or your system's memory is corrupt. Hard to tell without knowing the error message. Switching the compiler wouldn't solve these problems. Anyway you can find different gcc versions in the ports collection. If your compiler really is broken, you could install them as package. Fabian -- http://www.fabiankeil.de/ signature.asc Description: PGP signature

That is strange syntax for a struct declaration in an arguments list; usually it seems like just the identifier name is sufficient, and I think I see why gcc errored out and bailed. -Garrett ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
