Sorry for "top posting", Andrew :) In my 14 years on the internet I've never been scolded for it. I guess everyone has preferences (I personally hate when people reply in-line -- I know what the conversation is about already, don't make me dig through the whole message exchange to find your latest comments! :) As you can see below, using 'reply-all' via Yahoo Mail does not put '>' marks or any other quote nesting. Replying in-line would be very confusing in this case. Sorry, Yahoo Mail is what I use for all of my mailing list subscriptions in order to avoid spam at my "real/personal" account. Anyway... I do not know exactly where I got the gcc-4.1.1.tar.gz, but it was surely a GNU mirror or gnu.org itself. The timestamp on my copy is September 26, 2006. Oh well -- thanks for the help. Renaming the file solved the problem. ----- Original Message ---- From: Andrew Haley <aph@xxxxxxxxxx> To: Charles Blaine <kickslop@xxxxxxxxx> Cc: gcc-help@xxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, March 6, 2007 12:55:30 PM Subject: Re: GCC 4.1.1 build failure in libjava - RHELv4 Please don't top-post.

It's ok at ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/releases/gcc-4.1.1/gcc-4.1.1.tar.bz2: gcc-4.1.1/libjava/classpath/native/jni/midi-alsa/gnu_javax_sound_midi_alsa_AlsaPortDevice.c gcc-4.1.1/libjava/classpath/native/jni/midi-alsa/gnu_javax_sound_midi_alsa_AlsaMidiDeviceProvider.c gcc-4.1.1/libjava/classpath/native/jni/midi-alsa/gnu_javax_sound_midi_alsa_AlsaMidiSequencerDevice.c gcc-4.1.1/libjava/classpath/native/jni/classpath/ Where did you get gcc-4.1.1.tar.gz ? :-) Andrew. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Bored stiff?
