Hmm - that's odd.

You could:

  1. check that 'as' is in your path:

         which as

  2. check that you have permission to execute 'as':

         ls -la /usr/bin/as

     Hopefully you'll get at least permissions -r-xr-xr-x.

  3. ask gcc which 'as' it's trying to use:

         g++ -v -dump-prog-name=as

If GCC has a hardcoded path to 'as' which is invalid then it should fall
back to using the first 'as' it can find in the path - so as long as
/usr/bin/as is in the path, there shouldn't be any problems.

It may be trying to find an 'as' in /usr/<host>/bin, where <host> is
i686-redhat-linux-gnu or similar; you could check there for a
non-executable version. Otherwise, I'm running out of ideas.

Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs
gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98)
g++: No input files


Any idea?

Thanks,

Try a reinstall of gcc/g++, something is not right.

it gives me only this:

Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs
as

Probably the problem is here

Oops, that should have been:

    g++ -v -print-prog-name=as

Sorry!

If it gives you '/usr/bin/as' then I'm out of ideas, sorry - ditto if it
gives you 'as' since it should pick that up from the path. If it's
anything else, you could investigate permissions for that. Otherwise,
I'm stuck :-/

I have the executable at /usr/bin/as and my path is:

/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin

As said You need to have the 'as' in your path.
If you dont have an assembler for your processor you
have to build one by compiling binutils with the
prefix same as your prefix for building gcc.
to put the 'as' in your path you can use

export PATH=specify your bin where you have the
'as':$PATH

I'm running gcc - 2.96 on Redhat 7.2, I have 'as' in /usr/bin/as, but g++
cannot link to that.

Presumably you've installed a binary distribution of GCC on an operating
system that doesn't have system binutils installed by default.

Install GNU binutils. You should be able to get it from the same place
that you got GCC.

Good luck,

Hallo,
I would like to ask if anyone can help me with the following problem:

when I compile my c++ files, I get the following message:

g++: installation problem, cannot exec `as': No such file or directory

what should I do?

Thanks,

Yvonne
