Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. I'm very much a newbie at this and I
appreciate the help.
I looked at the egcs 1.0.3a version, and after reading through the documentation, I
concluded that I need to upgrade my binuutils from 2.8.1.0.1-1 (came with RH50) to a
version 2.8.1.0.15 or later. Is this correct?
I tried to upgrade to binutils-2.9.1-1 using the binutils-2.9.1-1.i386.rpm and
rpm -Uvh binutils-2.9.1-1.i386.rpm
and it failed with the following message:
failed dependencies:
libbfd.so.2.8.1.0.1 is needed by procps-1.2.4-1
but I find libbfd.so.2.8.1.0.1 in my /usr/lib directory.
I'm sorry if it appears that I need some hand holding here. I'm very new at this and
I don't want to mess up my system if I can help it. Do I really need to upgrade
binutils to load egcs, adn if so, what am I doing wrong?
TIA,
Paul
