I think I missed part of this thread, but i'll see if I can help.
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
It is not necessary to put /usr/local/lib/* in the PATH. The gcc in
/usr/local/bin will find the correct gcc-lib directory (if it was
installed correctly).
Why does the locate command not find any gcc files that I have
installed?
It's possible your slocate database isn't up to date. run "updatedb".
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??
Probably because the gcc you are using is /usr/bin/gcc. Which looks in
/usr/lib/gcc-lib for the support files.
[EMAIL PROTECTED] bin]# which gcc
/usr/local/bin/gcc
Try typing:
export GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=/usr/loca/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3
before running gcc.
No it was from /home/<username>/usr/local directory
Would that make a difference?
It might.
This gcc command is being called during compilation of a library. I
don't think I can modify the source code for it?
You can probably change the makefile, but I dont' think you'll need to,
if GCC_EXEC_PREFIX
is set to the right directory.
Just out of curiosity, what's wrong with using gcc 2.96?
I remember the thread's subject, but I think i missed a few messages, so
i'm not up to date.
