The egcs-c++ was part of Red Hat 6.x releases. Red Hat 7.x and 8.0 went back to using gcc-c++. Your ./configure output shows that it found a working c++ so I don't think this is the problem. However, your ./configure output shows a whole lot of entries labeled "(cached)", which leads me to suspect that this wasn't a clean installation straight from the original htdig-3.1.6.tar.gz distribution. Can you try reinstalling from scratch? I've certainly had no difficulty building this package on Red Hat 7.2, so I don't see why 7.3 would pose a problem. As for your request for pre-compiled binaries, you could always download the "rh72" RPMs from http://www.htdig.org/files/binaries/ and install them even without root access using "rpm2cpio package.rpm | cpio -idmv". This will unpack the whole thing under your current directory. You'd then need to use the -c option to all the programs as the compiled-in CONFIG_DIR setting wouldn't be appropriate for your setup. You'd also need to run htsearch within a wrapper script, as described in http://www.htdig.org/FAQ.html#q5.30, but you'd need to do that with any pre-compiled binary of htsearch unless it was pre-configured to your specifications (which you never specified). It's always better if you can compile your own. -- Gilles R. Detillieux E-mail: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Spinal Cord Research Centre WWW: http://www.scrc.umanitoba.ca/ Dept.
