Hi Ioannis, Try this (in shorthand): mkdir ~/MySpoofedGCC PATH=~/MySpoofedGCC:$PATH vi ~/MySpoofedGCC/gcc ----------------- #!/bin/bash /bin/gcc -static "$@" ----------------- Does that make sense? I've used that successfully to put in a few flags I wanted everywhere and always, such as -D_GLIBCXX_FULLY_DYNAMIC_STRING. But I used a BIG HAMMER. I changed gcc to gcc-real, and made my script where gcc was located. That works on a personal machine, but would make people upset if it was a shared gcc for a lot of people. --Eljay
