gcc issue

[Rik Tindall]

Hi folks,

I have been trying to get a PCTel SiS 630 Intel 537 onboard modem going, 
as per ScanModem instructions.

On driver compilation, it fails, saying that my gcc3 working on the 
available gcc2 files downloaded is "known not to work". I'm running RH9 
on an Athlon XP1800.

Can someone please confirm or enhance these two options?:

1. Install an older distro with gcc2 on a spare partition to run 
the available driver (Mdk 8.2 from Installfest '02 still runs it ok, but 
needs updating).

2. Wait until the gcc3 compatible code is produced by some kind soul, & 
try again.

In the meantime I've employed a 56K external workaround. It's just good 
to be efficient with resources, long term. It's also nice using these 
up-to-date releases, IMHO  :-)

Thanks

Rik

P.S. Googling as we speak..
