(confused here so detail is appreciated!) I already downloaded gcc-4.4.4 but it will not build, so the symbolic link being used is broken? gcc-config -l * gcc-config: Active gcc profile is invalid! [1] x86_64-pc-linux-gnu-4.4.4 I understand that quickpkg can be used to protect gcc in the future, but, I think I need to use the /usr/bin binary to rebuild the links and then the entire (gcc) package from sources? confused, James
