Also where can I download the gcc version from? -xmemalign=ab is a Sun Studio compiler flag, not a GCC flag. If you don't already have it, you can download it free from http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/ . If for some reason you must use a GCC frontend, you can try GCC for Sparc Systems ( http://cooltools.sunsource.net/gcc/ ), which supports all the regular GCC flags plus many Sun Studio ones, including xmemalign: http://cooltools.sunsource.net/gcc/flags.html But as Mel said, this has nothing to do with FreeBSD, so this post doesn't exist. -- Dan Nelson dnelson@allantgroup.com
