Re: Compiler confusion

Thanks Dave, the suggestions you provided helped.

Now, what I still wonder is why when I invoke "gcc" things don't work,
but when I invoke "gcc-3.3" things do work as expected. On i386, gcc
is a symlink pointing to gcc-3.3, but on the Sparc gcc is a small
Sparc executable. The strange thing is that running "gcc -v" and
"gcc-3.3" give the same version information and output.

Cheers,

Eloy.-
