If you really did download *everything* and run setup.exe properly, then gcc should be there. You might try again with the latest setup, which now logs its actions. If it doesn't (re-) install gcc for you, try deleting /etc/setup/gcc.lst.gz (if there is one), or delete /etc/setup entirely to make setup do everything again. If you downloaded manually, make sure you didn't miss something or get a corrupted archive. You didn't download with Netscape and mangle the filenames, did you? (DJ, will setup also recognize archives named -_tar.gz?) BTW, I hope to get a new Installation section in the FAQ today. Cheers, David -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
