Problem with gcc3

[Lodar]

Ok... did a clean install of Mandrake 8.2
Installed all required rpm (well i think i did)
gcc3 is installed

I ran the batch (bash seq.txt) which seems to run ok, installs the qt-gcc rpm too etc.. i get the error at the ./configure statement.

Always saying that the gcc3 is not there. I would appreciate any help on that plz.

here is message

Ok I did uninstall and reinstall gcc3.0 with package manager and it still says that its not installed.

Also downloaded the rpm from mandrake ftp (gcc3.0) and when i try to install it it says everything is installed!

I'm kinda clueless now!

Your problem isn't with gcc it is with you. Read the howto's, learn, understand and most of all USE THE SEARCH FEATURE OF THIS BOARD.

try checking to see if gcc and g++ are reporting that they are version 3.whatever (they shouldnt afaik - should be something like "gcc version 2.95.x xxxxxxxx (release)"

gcc -v
g++ -v

If those are showing version 3.whatever goto the directory they're in and run the following commands.

ln -s gcc gcc3
ln -s g++ g++3

If those arent showing version 3, try doing the following finds and see if they turn up where it is if its installed.

find / -name gcc-3.0 -print
find / -name gcc-3 -print
find / -name gcc3 -print

Ok, thx Jack

I got it working now. I had some RPMs missing it seems, I installed them upon error I was getting.

Still the gcc error was weird. I uninstalled it again and installed another rpm I downloaded and it worked!

:D

Have to excuse me... linux is chinese for me still hehe...
