On Fedora, GCC isn't installed on a 'standard default' install. It's been like that for a long time. It's just the philosophy of a binary Linux distro vs. a source based OS like FreeBSD. In that you don't need to build so GCC isn't necessary... But is a 'yum install gcc' away. > Debian has over 20,000 packages available. Ubuntu is > in the same > area.

Fedora has traceroute6 symlinked to traceroute. $ ls -l /bin/traceroute6 lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 10 2009-06-14 14:28 /bin/traceroute6 -> traceroute $ rpm -q traceroute traceroute-2.0.12-2.fc11.x86_64 - Julian _______________________________________________ LUAU@lists.freesoftwarehawaii.org mailing list http://lists.freesoftwarehawaii.org/listinfo.cgi/luau-freesoftwarehawaii.org
