Configured with: configure : (reconfigured) configure --prefix=u:/djgppv2 : (reconfigured) configure --prefix=/dev/env/DJDIR Thread model: single gcc version 3.0 If I then re-run 'make bootstrap', I still get the permission denied error If I put the specs file back in place in my installed gcc dir, I get the following: command: xgcc.exe -v Reading specs from ./specs xgcc.exe: ./specs: Permission denied (EACCES) I even tried manually typing in the same command line that make is trying to execute with xgcc and replacing 'xgcc' with 'gcc' (the one in my installed dir), and then the specs permission denied problem goes away, but then there are other problems. But this is expected since I'm then using the wrong gcc. This strongly suggests there is something wrong with xgcc.exe and/or it's being passed incorrect parameters. At the moment I'm stumped, I don't have a clue as to what's going on. If anyone can figure this out, I'll be grateful. I even had a response saying that I might have to wait until the official gcc 3.0 binaries are out. The sender may be right... john jbailey8 AT triad DOT rr DOT com
