Using the 'patch' command!! Change directory into the directory where you unpacked the gcc source code. This should be the directory where gcc-2.95.2 is a subdirectory, you don't want to actually be *in* that directory. Make sure you have a copy of the patchfile in that directory and type patch -p0 < glibc-2.2.patch (For further info about the patch command, try 'patch --help' or 'man patch' or 'info patch') hth, DaveK -- All your base are belong to us! ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are confidential and intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
