From mboxrd@z Thu Jan 1 00:00:00 1970 From: Howard Gilbert To: gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org Subject: Linux RedHat 7.0 Gcc Date: Thu, 14 Dec 2000 14:58:00 -0000 Message-id: References: X-SW-Source: 2000-12/msg00086.html Hi, I recently installed RH7.0 and have had little subsequent success with compiling downloaded software. Most recently I tied to reconfigure and compile the kernel and got hundreds of parse error messages (these errors were occuring in the .h files but they all seemed perfectly OK to me). On mentioning this to other Linux users I've been told by one that Red Hat used a non-stable version of gcc in v7.0 and by another that Red Hat used a different non-stable compiler for the kernel. Does anyone know if these things are true and, if so, what is the best way round it and, if not, what is the likely cause of the many parse errors. My system gives:- +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ $ gcc -v Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.0) +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ -- Thanks and Best wishes, Howard.
