Greetings All...

I am having some difficulties installing GNU C for VMS (GCC-VMS-1.40d).
My configuration is comprised of a MicroVAX 3100 running VMS 5.5.  Has anyone
else out there been able to get this running under 5.5?  My installation
steps were as follows:

1)  FTP gcc-vms-1.40d.tar.Z from prep.mit.edu.
2)  Download to local Mac.
3)  Uncompress and extract from tar using mac tools.
4)  Copy directory hierarchy onto the VAX.
4)  Define GNU_CC and GNU_CC_INCLUDE logicals using ASSIGN/SUPER/SYS.
5)  Install the GCC command using SET COMMAND.
6)  Run GCC with test file.

The current problems:

1)  When running GCC, a number of images are loaded.  In particular, GCC
wants SYS$LIBRARY:SMGSHR_00.EXE, MTHRTL_00.EXE, LIBRTL_00.EXE, FORRTL_00.EXE.
These do not exist on my VAX in this directory,  and thus the following
errors are generated:

%DCL_W_ACTIMAGE, error activating image SMGSHR_00
-CLI-E-IMAGEFNF, image file not found SYS$DKA300:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.][SYSLIB]
SMGSHR_00.EXE

I do have corresponding files without the _00 suffix, and copied them
into the files that GCC wants to load.  After that, however, GCC looks
for the file "u/P" (with u having an umlaut over it) and fails with
a syntax error.

Are these the right files, or am I missing some images with _00 suffixes?
What does this suffix mean?

2)  When running the gcc_install script, the GCC precompiler is called to
get the current version level.  This call fails with the following error:

%DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image GNU_CC:[000000]GCC-CPP
-CLI-E-IMGNAME, image file SBS$DKB0:[COMMON.GCCDIST.GCC.][000000]GCC-CPP.EXE;1
-SYSTEM-F-VA_IN_USE, virtual address already in use

The last error is not documented in my copy of the System Messages docs.
It is new with V 5.5?  What does it mean? 

Thanks in advance.

Jeff
