Not sure about memory. I'll figure out how to check that. > If this does not work, maybe reinstalling the OS might fix it as this might be a corrupted bug. One wierd thing. Somehow the install command got associated with some other program in my directory (maybe I called some executable install by mistake.) I removed this executable (and another link to /usr/bin/install in another directory) and moved these directorys to the end of my $PATH. So now install resolves to /usr/bin/install as it should. Anyway I'm going to redo everything with just C and see how it goes. I'm going to start small. That Java runtime is freekin' huge. Anyhow, thank you for your indulgence and prompt suggestions. P.S. where do you get your compiler to bootstrap ada? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18810
