First, thanks to J.H.M.Dassen (Ray) for the reply concerning the error message. However, things still don't work, so I have to update the question...
Originally, I got the error message gcc: install problem, cannot exec 'cc1plus': No such file or directory when compiling a program (actually wp2latex v.2.64, see http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~fojtik/wp2latex.htm) by calling a makefile. After not getting any effect when trying to "env CXX=g++ ./configure" or "make CXX=g++" as was advised, I looked again for cc1plus and found it in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/egcs-2.90.29, together with some other stuff. I then tried to tell gcc to look there by the -B option but then got an error from cpp telling me that I didn't give I/O files; OTOH, cpp is not explicitly invoked in the makefile, so I don't see any possibility to set them. As there is another cpp file in /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.3 (but no cc1plus), I finally cancelled the -B option with the other path and made a soft link from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/egcs-2.90.29/cc1plus to /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.3/cc1plus. The makefile began to work then (emitting tons of warnings) and finally died with messages concerning unreferenced '_' or so (didn't notice that when compiling the same source on the AIX here). I have already spent quite a few hours with this and really am getting annoyed. So any further hints on what I am maybe missing are welcome. -- -------------------------------------------- Thomas Ruedas Institute of Meteorology and Geophysics, J.W.
