This is an ifort option not a gcc option. It tells ifort to use the headers from the installed gcc , to which you can add the path as an arguement. This is only for mixing fortran and C/C++ code in the same program. You maybe do not need it anyway. This will be a pre-compilation test script possibly making assumptions about what you want to do or what you are running. Try to be more precise about where this message is produced. What command did you run, was there any more output? You may want to tell us that you are running 64 bit Suse as well ;) You take care to point out that you're at this, so a tip for the future: always try to give enough basic info so others can have a good idea of what you're running and give you more useful replies more quickly. For example the output from gcc -v would be good. What version of ifc did you install and what were you trying to compile? Try to give an accurate description of what you ran and any error you got . Often a few lines of output from the console will save a lot of descriptive chat and may give a clue that you over looked. Hope that helps a bit. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/wondering-if-you-could-help---suse-9.3-problem%21-tf2436197.html#a6868110 Sent from the gcc - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
