You were right about my gcc not being liked by the Oracle compiler. I found out that the compiler is only compatible with gcc 2.95 & my RH 7.3
install came with gcc 2.96 So I copied the gcc 2.95.3 files from another RH computer and put them under /usr/local/ on my computer. I also put the /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3 path in PATH. However now I get an error ld: cannot open crtbeginS.o: No such file or directory crtbeginS.o does exist in the /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3 directory so why the hell does it not find it?? Also the locate command cannot seem to find any of the gcc files that I copied from the other RH computer I'm drowning in gcc hell. Can somebody please tell me what I need to do to get past this problem? I did also try to put /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3 in LD_LIBRARY_PATH without any luck MonMotha wrote: > Ray Strode wrote: > >>> >>> >>> I have installed Oracle Pro C/C++ 8.1.7 on RH 7.3.
