Arnold, Thanks for your reply. How can I check the compiler proble. Will the installing new gcc from gnu.org solve the problem. I think this nay be reason ..my current installation shows my machine as i586.. but I know it is K6-2. For memory I have never faced problem with any other program.. yeah mu x systems get killed couple of times and my linux works very slow.
