I normally avoid pre-compiled depots, because it seems that they often depend on some arrangement of run-time support which I lack. When I build a product from the source (and it works at all), I can be pretty sure that it'll work where I built it. I'd expect wget 1.10.2 to work, but with no useful description of exactly what you did, or exactly what happened when you did it, it's hard to be confident that anything in particular will work for you. "It did not work" is not a useful problem description. Similarly, "a parse error" is not a useful problem description. dy # pwd /usr/local/src/wget/wget-1_10_2c_vms/src dy # ls -l ./wget -rwxr-xr-x 1 root sys 489760 Jul 30 2007 ./wget dy # ./wget --version GNU Wget 1.10.2c built on hpux11.11. [...] I just upgraded my GCC on that system to the latest and greatest (and the build was pretty painless, for a change, once all the new GNU prerequisites were installed): dy # gcc --version gcc (GCC) 4.3.0 [...] and I'm pretty sure that I've never used anything older than GCC 4.2.1 on HP-UX, but I have built it on Solaris with a relatively old GCC: ra# uname -a SunOS ra 5.10 Generic_120011-14 sun4u sparc SUNW,UltraSPARC-IIi-cEngine ra# gcc --version gcc (GCC) 3.4.6 [...] ra# pwd /usr/local/src/wget/wget-1_10_2c_vms/src ra# ls -l ./wget -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 325360 Apr 24 2007 ./wget ra# ./wget --version GNU Wget 1.10.2c1 built on solaris2.10. [...] That GCC is still newer than "gcc version 3.2", but very many things are. Wget 1.10.2 (with VMS-related changes) does what I need, so I haven't done much with 1.11[.x] yet. From what I can remember of (plain) 1.11, it didn't seem all that different from 1.10.2. Perhaps, if you can provide a useful problem description, someone may be able to provide some useful advice. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Steven M.
