I remeber someone else having the same problem, but I can't find it in my archive. From memory I think someone had untarred GPC onto to wrong directory so the LIBRARY_PATH symbol was pointing to the wrong place and the linker looking in the wrong place - I don't know enough about GPC to be any more helpfull, but I'm sure someone else who reads this will.

If you unsing any libraries/units you are you have to include them in the gpc command line, for example

gpc program.p -lgpc

That neither work. I've got the following program 'test.pas':

program test; uses Crt;

begin gotoXY(1,1); write('hello'); end.

Then save it and trie to compile it:

bash-2.03# gpc test.pas -lcrt # like you wrote # then i get this message /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lcrt collect2:ld returned 1 exit status

Even when I trie it in the units directory I get this message.

I also tried gpc --automake test.pas : I get the following messages....

These are only a vew lines!

That doesn't seem to work. Maybe it's because of my Linux version or My gnu c compiler. I don't know.
