Tru64 5.1B GCC-4.4.7 -------------------- Download the tarball from GCC-4.4.7 and extract in / # mkdir /data # mv gcc447.tar /data # cd /data # tar -xvf gcc447.tar # rm -f gcc447.tar GCC will be extracted to /data/gcc447 Next create symlink # cd /usr/local/lib # ln -s /usr/data/gcc447/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 /usr/local/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 Add the /data/gcc447/bin path to your environment variables PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/ccs/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/local/bin:/usr/data/gcc447/bin export PATH Now you should be able to run gcc root@tru64 ~# gcc -v Using built-in specs.
