According to Jim Roland:

Thanks for the help. I got a successful compile now (no errors), however, when I run the program i compiled (with gcc cgi-postsplit.pas -o cgi-postsplit),

You mean `gpc cgi-postsplit.pas -o cgi-postsplit'?

I get a bash error telling me the file is not there.

Please try the following:

* Make sure that this is no trivial error, for instance the executable is in the current directory, but the current directory is not in your path. (This is - or should be - the case when you are working as `root' (which you shouldn't do anyway.;-)) To check it, try `./postsplit' instead of just `postsplit'.

* Use GPC only to compile, but link with GCC: `gpc -c postsplit.pas'; `gcc postsplit.o -o postsplit'.

* If this does not help, add the `-v' option to your call to `gpc' and post the result here: `gpc cgi-postsplit.pas -v -o cgi-postsplit'.

BTW, what system do you use? Linux probably (from your signature), but we must be sure about this in order to offer any help.

I tried running configure and make (even a make distclean before i started) and I get an error 126 on ../gcc-2.7.2.2/specs! Thoughts?

No idea, sorry. :-(

Right now (I don't know what happened to cause this not to work nor compile properly), but now I can't compile a program. A simple program that assigns a string to S and writeln's it out doesn't error on compile, but runs w/o output (test.pas). [...]

As you can imagine, my GPC has no problem with this.

Good luck,
