gcc-version = 2.4.1 Machine = sparc Operating system = SunOS 4.1.2 window system = X11/R5 running twm shell = bash I had to go to some trouble in installing gcc that was not explained in the INSTALL file or in the gcc.info documentation. The fixincludes script, which is run in making the stage 1 compiler, I believe, will not work if there are symbolic links in your X11 tree. So in order to install gcc 2.4.1, I had to put the X11 files physically on my hard disk. I now have a directory /usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-sunos4.1/2.4.1/include full of fixed include files. It's almost 2 Mb in size. My question is; why don't these include files just come with the gcc distribution, and skip the fixinclude biz? Maybe the answer that 2 Mb times all the different machine and architectures supported by gcc adds up to quite a lot! A different question: Now that I've installed gcc, can I go back to a symbolically linked X11, in order to save the disk space?
