Ron, You're wekcome. I know what that's like. My face must have looked like a red fire engine when I last asked for help. First, somebody told me that I needed to use a new version of GNU make to compile gcc-4.2.0. Even after I installed the new version of HNU make, Tamino, my Sun workstation, kept complaining, So I asked the gcc-help crowd what he was yelling about. If I had read everything my digital pal had said, I would have noticed that the /usr partition was full. D'oh. That's why I built gcc-4.2.0 in the /home partition and installed it in /usr. Now I still need to figure out what I can delete from /usr because now after I've deleted gcc-4.2.0's source tree, /usr is still 71 percent full. Don't let minor problems embarrass you, pal. Many of us just aren't anal retentive enough to notice the almost undetectable problems that can make our digital friends misbehave. One little typo in your path, and your machine won't findsomething, even when it's right under his nose. :) Bill > > Thanks Bill, > Ian and Ivan were correct and I'm rather red faced with such a simple > question.
