First I've set them only via ...=..., but under a cshell, where no export works. with bash, I can export them (export shows the correct values), but only with

gpc -B ... -L ... test.pas

it runs now :-))) Thank you very much

if you're using csh then the setting of an environment variable (csh uses a different construct for local shell variables) looks like setenv GPC_EXEC_PREFIX /gpc/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/mips-sgi-irix6.2/2.8.1 Important: no "=" between the env variable name and its value. Klaus
