If you wish to use the newer compiler invoke it as gcc40 (IIRC), but don't try use it to rebuild FreeBSD itself. > > Also, the ports install does not make a "cc-freebsd-4.0" binary, so > I'm leary of replacing it with a hard link to the gcc-freebsd-4.0 > biary, although when I run "cc --version", it tells me that it is gcc > 3.4.x, which is the default gcc install. -- <Insert your favourite quote here.> Erik Trulsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
