There was never a GCC 3.23 release. I assume you mean GCC 3.2.3, which was released in 2003. The libgcov library was added in GCC 3.4. There is no -lgcov in GCC 3.2.3. But, then, you shouldn't need it. Why are you trying to use -lgcov with GCC 3.2.3? In order to get coverage information with GCC 3.2.3, you should follow the GCC 3.2.3 documentation. Ian
