RE: kernel compile error - 2.4.18-bf2.4 to 2.4.20

[Tim Gunning <TimG@profero.com>]

 hi all

sorry very poor of me, I actually read one of the other posts about this,
this morning. Having read the google group postings below, I changed the sym
link 
/usr/bin/gcc -> gcc-3.3 
to be 
/usr/bin/gcc -> gcc-2.95
and it seems to be compiling ok now.
I'll be going for a reboot when it finishes and I'll let you know.
(i may be a while - depending!)
