Well, things are better. The thing (gcc) compiled and installed. I now have two version of gcc on my computer: -rwxr-xr-x 2 root root 216884 Feb 26 21:17 /usr/local/bin/gcc -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 203694 Dec 14 12:46 /usr/bin/gcc I have a similar pair of files for g++. Now, the old g++ won't compile things, giving a library error. This is the entire reason for this exercise. The new g++ seems to work. My problem is, when I try to configure abiword, the configure script only tries the old version. So, I just renamed the old version to something other than g++ or gcc, and the configure script finds the new versions of gcc and g++. Is this kosher? Anyway, the configure script now runs for abiword, but now I get the following error during configure, which doesn't stop the configuration but stops the make. checking for jpeg_start_decompress in -ljpeg gcc -o conftest conftest.c -ljpeg >&5 /usr/lib/libjpeg.so: undefined reference to `atexit@@GLIBC_2.0' This happens while it is configuring wv. This GLIBC_2.0 is suspicious, since I have 2.2.5, I think. Do I need a new jpg library? jpeg is a link to libjpeg.so.62.0.0 Any insight appreciated, Joel On Wed, Feb 26, 2003 at 08:13:06PM -0500, Kurt Wall wrote: > Feigning erudition, Joel Hammer wrote: > % I have downloaded the sources for gcc-2.95.3 > % > % I want to compile this thing, and it seems to config OK and make ok. > % I am totally confused on where this should go.
