sorry about the missing line.

I didn't build the gcc binary.  It is installed as a HP depot file which I downloaded from the Wiscosine site.

On the other hand, I did try to build from the source code.  Here is what I did:
get the source code, untared, into /lidar/sw/gcc-2.95.2/
mkdir /lidar/sw/gcc
cd /lidar/sw/gcc
setenv CC cc
./configure
This seems to be completed fine.
./make
After a long compilations, it failed with the following message:

-------------------------------------

I did install the binutilis before build gcc, and a 'which as' gives
/opt/binutils/bin/as
I figure this might be the problem as I read through other postings.

Thanks very much for your time!
