Hi.

Sorry if I missed something in the documentation, but I think I've read it all over.

I have installed the binaries for GPC on my Red Hat 6.0 system. I can get Pascal programs to compile, but when they execute, they core dump. (I have attached the output from a verbose gpc compile of the pi.pas demo program.)

The Red Hat 6.0 compiler is egcs-1.1.2, but the GPC binary (from gpc-19990118-egcs-1_1_1_i386-linux-glibc2.tar) was compiled with egcs-1.1.1. Is that why the executables are core dumping?

I have also tried compiling GPC, but when I "make LANGUAGES=pascal", I get a lot of "assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast" errors when gcc is compiling gpc.c. Why should that be happening, and how can I remedy it?

Also, is this mailing list archived anywhere?

Thanks in advance. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Ken Munro
