It looks to me as if the gcc drivers aren't doing anything wrong. But this is a big fat clue:
>ld: warning: libm.so.6, needed by /usr/lib/libstdc++.so, may conflict with lib >m.so.5 >ld: warning: libc.so.6, needed by /lib/libm.so.6, may conflict with libc.so.5 The linker called by gcc/g++ 2.7 is attempting to link your program with the crt1.o from libc6 but the dynamic library from libc5. That implies you have strange environment variable settings or mangled linker config files. egcc has a wrapper for ld which is smart enough to straighten this out. If you have environment variables named LD_somethingorother (LD_RUN_PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, etc.) unset them and try again to compile with gcc 2.7. Also, do this: ld --verbose | more This will produce much incomprehensible output; you care only about the first few lines, which should read like this: GNU ld version 2.8.2 (with BFD 2.8.1.0.25) Supported emulations: elf_i386 i386linux using internal linker script: ================================================== OUTPUT_FORMAT("elf32-i386", "elf32-i386", "elf32-i386") OUTPUT_ARCH(i386) ENTRY(_start) SEARCH_DIR(/lib); SEARCH_DIR(/usr/lib); SEARCH_DIR(/usr/local/lib); SEARCH_DIR(/usr/elf_i386/lib); If it doesn't say "using internal linker script", or if any of the SEARCH_DIR entries have the word `libc5' in them, you have a problem with your linker installation. >% cat /usr/lib/libc.so >/* GNU ld script > Use the shared library, but some functions are only in > the static library, so try that secondarily. */ >GROUP ( /lib/libc.so.6 /usr/lib/libc_nonshared.a ) *blink* I thought that was only in development libc. What do you get if you execute /lib/libc.so.6 as a program? zw -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
