I'm installing gcc 1.4.1 on SunOS 4.1.2, and I ran into the following problem with fixincludes: In this version of SunOS (but apparently not in version 4.1.1) the directory /usr/include/machine is a symbolic link to ../kvm/machine. In turn, /usr/kvm/machine is a symbolic link to ./sys/sun4c. Finally, in /usr/kvm/sys/sun4c, there is an entry for machine which is a symbolic link to ".". My questions: When running the fixincludes phase of the gcc 1.4.1 installation, this final link appears to cause an infinite loop, where the gcc include directory contains an infinite chain of directories /usr/local/lib/gcc-include/machine/machine/machine... Does anyone know of a way around this problem? I notice in the INSTALL file, a reference is made to this sort of problem on some MIPS machines, but there is no reference to Suns and no hint of how one might get around the problem. Incidentally, can anyone answer: Why is this circular link here, anyway? Why wasn't it in SunOs 4.1.1 (at least the installation I checked)? Thanks in advance for any assistance. -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs@clemson.edu -- Matthew Saltzman Clemson University Math Sciences mjs@clemson.edu
