Does binutils 2.6 work with freebsd? (I had problems -- I configured with 2.6 -- it made, ran and gave up on freebsd objects...) For libg++, configure did: reated "Makefile" in /usr/local/src/libg++-2.7.1 ì i386c/libg++-2.7.1 ./config.status is unchanged bash ./config.status Created "Makefile" in /usr/local/src/libg++-2.7.1 ì i386c/libg++-2.7.1 ./config.status is unchanged bash ./config.status and then got into infinite loops (very bizarre). For groff, I had: hen I configured groff 1.10, I got: bash$ /compudyne/cdrom/gnu/groff-1.10/configure --prefix=/usr/local loading cache ./config.cache checking for gcc... gcc checking whether we are using GNU C... yes checking whether gcc accepts -g... yes checking for c++... c++ checking whether we are using GNU C++... yes checking whether c++ accepts -g... yes checking whether cross-compiling... yes checking that header files support C++... no configure: error: header files do not support C++ (if you are using a version of gcc/g++ earlier than 2.5, you should install libg++) (I tried the 2.7.2 g++ and I believe the installed g++ with the same result). marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com Member of the League for Programming Freedom (http://www.lpf.org) Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic Arthur C.
