hi again, this time it is because i tried to compile programs using "uses Crt" outside Rhide (i use it as my favourite IDE) this is the command line i typed (i found it somewhere in the FAQ): girardi@ux(tty4)~/devel$ gpc -g --automake -o foo foo.pas gpc: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1': No such file or directory gpc1: gpc exited with status 1 /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/egcs-2.91.66/units/crt.pas:345: `/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-linux/egcs-2.91.66/units/crtc.c' could not be compiled gpc1: gpc exited with status 1 foo.pas:2: module `crt' could not be compiled so, what's up? my distrib. is Debian 2.1 (slink), and all dependencies are OK. but there's still something wrong. sincerely, -- Nicola Girardi girardi(at)keycomm.it Key fingerprint = CD 7D 57 C2 52 73 67 B5 13 48 AA 8C 3E 7F 13 DC
