Re: egcs problem - see files

[Juan Rivero <juanr averroes ivic ve>]

I have egcs-1.1 installed with defaults, which puts it in /usr/local. If I go look for Object.h I get:

 >find /usr/local -name Object.h
/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i486-pc-linux-gnu/egcs-2.91.60/include/objc/Object.h
 
Looks like you do not have egcs completely installed.  The egcs install procedure builds a link in /usr/local/bin to 'gcc' so you should not need to put that link into /usr/bin. You should put /usr/local/bin in your path, not /usr/local (which is what you have).

It will do you no good to mess with ld.so.conf since that just affects the linker, not source files.

                       ^^^^^^^^^^^ /usr/local/bin
