While #dselect reveals that both gcc-4.1 and make are installed from base installation. Of course my question is not merely related to that, but to the use of queries with respect to 32bit etch.Is gcc installed? gcc-4.1 provides gcc-4.1, gcc depends on the current gcc, and provides the gcc link to the current version. # dpkg -S /usr/bin/gcc gcc: /usr/bin/gcc Len Sorensen"gcc" is a symbolic link, provided by the "gcc" package. Since you don't have the "gcc" package, you have no "gcc". Either compile your app using "gcc-4.1" instead of "gcc", or install the "gcc" package. alias gcc="gcc-4.1" make or a symlink: ln -s `which gcc-4.1` /usr/local/bin/gcc |
