FW: [luau] Oracle Pro C on Linux & gcc

[Vikram Khurana]

Looks like my gcc was looking for incorrect directories

Typing export
GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=/usr/loca/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3 didn't
make it look in the /usr/loca/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3
It kept looking in /home/<username>/usr/local directory.

I was able to get the command to work fine on another RH system, by
creating a softlink for the files that it was not finding in
/usr/include....

Thanks for all your help,
Vikram

I think I missed part of this thread, but i'll see if I can help.

It's possible your slocate database isn't up to date. run "updatedb".

Try typing:

export GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=/usr/loca/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3

before running gcc.

It might.

You can probably change the makefile, but I dont' think you'll need to, 
if GCC_EXEC_PREFIX
is set to the right directory.

Just out of curiosity, what's wrong with using gcc 2.96?

I remember the thread's subject, but I think i missed a few messages, so

i'm not up to date.
