One thing to be careful about when using gcc 3 is whether it was configured with a shared libgcc or not: for instance, the Solaris binary packages of gcc 3 from sunfreeware.com do use a shared libgcc (as it's the default), which introduces a dependency of shared libraries produced by "gcc -shared" on the shared libgcc. So you have to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH or LD_RUN_PATH to $prefix/lib where you installed gcc, if you want the library to load, and they'll never work on another Solaris machine unless you copy over the libgcc_s.so too. gcc 3 configured with --disable-shared doesn't suffer from this problem. joe ______________________________________________________________________ OpenSSL Project http://www.openssl.org User Support Mailing List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Automated List Manager [EMAIL PROTECTED]
