Gerald the issue got away misteriously. I got gcc45 working fine now. It's been successfully updated several times since my last post. I don't know what was the problem. MPFR and GMP pass all tests. In the end I removed everything from /etc/make.conf, so now mpfr, gmp and gcc45 are built with just the default settings on my sparc. many thanks anton -- Anton Shterenlikht Room 2.6, Queen's Building Mech Eng Dept Bristol University University Walk, Bristol BS8 1TR, UK Tel: +44 (0)117 331 5944 Fax: +44 (0)117 929 4423
