GCC setup problem

[Waller Martin MEJ <Martin.M.E.J.Waller@GBJHA.zeneca.com>]

Hi,

     My GCC setup doesn't appear to be correct on my Debian 1.3.1 and 1.2 
system.  Initially after installing it, whenever I tried to run it, the 
message:

GCC installation problem:
cannot find cc1: no such file or directory

cc1 (and cc1plus, and libgcc.a...) were in 
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/2.7.2.1/, so I created links in /usr/lib to 
them.

I could compile things and stuff then (like you'd want to do with gcc...).

Recently, however, i was using make-kpkg to recompile the kernel and it 
puked out the following error messages including:

dpkg: unexpected output from `gcc --print-libgcc-file-name':
 `/usr/lib/libgcc.a'
dpkg: compiler libgcc filename not understood: no gcc-lib component

The same error message comes from trying:

#dpkg --print-architecture

and

#gcc --print-libgcc-file-name

produces:

/usr/lib/libgcc.a

I tried removing and purging gcc.

However, gcc was still in /usr/bin....(version 2.7.2).

But trying to compile with that 'residual' gcc gave as above:

GCC installation problem:
cannot find cc1: no such file or directory

yet gcc -v worked.

find /usr -name gcc

gave:

/usr/bin

Re-installing gcc corrected the above problem but I _still_ get errors from

dpkg --print-architecture

which means i can't recompile my kernel using make-kpkg.

Assistance is needed to identify exactly what's going on and how I can 
correct it...purging (_) and re-installing (*) after re-booting doesn't 
work.

     Thanks,

          Martin
