This is, like, the umptieth time I post here, but up to now nobody has come
up with the solution. I _badly_ need c++, that's why I keep on trying to make
gcc work.

Well, I have tried like 20 times to unpack compiled versions of gcc and compile
uncompiled versions. I have already posted what happened when I tried to compile,
and here is what happens when I try to compile with gcc 2.5.7 downloaded from
archive.latrobe...

gcc hello.c
/usr/bin/ld:
Archive: /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/iris/2.5.7/libgcc.a has no table of contents, 
  add one with 'ar ts'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

I know there must be some problem here with _my_ system; since if that happened
to each one, it would be a FAQ. I am using version 4.0.5H of Iris, version 4.0.1
of IDO. Maybe I erased accidentally some file? I re-installed IDO, just in case,
but to no joy.

PLEASE HELP!!!!!

When libraries ("archives") are copied, their modification dates change 
and the linker thinks that the table of contents of the archive is 
out of date.  On SunOS and other BSD systems, you type 
"ranlib xxx.a" to fix this (or "ranlib -t xxx.a) if you know the TOC 
is really up to date.  I'd guess from the error message you got that 
all you need to do is go to the directory where libgcc.a is and type

	ar ts libgcc.a

It wouldn't hurt to do "man ar" first just to make sure you understand
the operation you are performing.
