However, I never had any issues until just now. Usually I do this : unzip gcc into /junk cd /junk/gcc* mkdir obj cd obj ../configure BLAH make bootstrap make install isnt that that the normal and recommended way? ..I tried this same way (above) on my FreeBSD 5.2.1 system and it built 100% fine. So could this be a solaris issue? - I am running solaris10 beta... -- J.D.
