How > can I change this? Pretty much. Usually what I do is decompress binutils, decompress gcc, create a new directory build, symlink gcc/* to build/ and binutils/* to build/ . Then create an objdir, configuring ../build/configure and so forth. Hope that helps. Dara __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Protect your identity with Yahoo!
