Hi all.
This is the first time I have written to this list, so I would
appreciate any critiques...especially my descision to choose
'questions' rather than 'ports'...not so much of my spelling which
I am working on.
OK, the other day I tried to compile a test C++ program for a class
that I am taking. It complained of a missing library so I decided
to install egcs before working out the library path stuff (and I
wasn't sure if the stock cc was built with C++ support or not.)
Since I ran into a problem with the egcs port install (and also,
parenthetically, a seemingly different problme with a gimp port
install some days before,) I upgraded from 3.1 to 3.3 before begging
for assistance. The upgrade went well considering that it was my
first attempt I think.
Below are a few clips from my diary which document the problems I
am having, and I have put (what I consider to be) relevant portions
of a dmesg at the end in case it would help.
Thanks to anyone who can point me in a helpfull direction and/or
explain the cause and nature of the trouble I am having. And, of
course, many many thanks to those who are involved in the FreeBSD
project...I am very impressed and get more so each day!

- Wiped out the egcs work directory and did a make then make install.
Same deal... make install fails with this:
-------------------
...
gmake[2]: Entering directory `/usr/ports/lang/egcs/work
/gcc-2.95.1/i386-unknown-freebsd 3.3/libiberty/testsuite'
gmake[2]: Nothing to be done for `install'.

Note: sure enough, /usr/local/bin/ has only i386-unknown-fre... directory.

- Some research on the list archives shows that one person got it
to go by creating a symbolic link. He didn't seem to get a response
when he asked around about what happened and if his kluge would
cause other trouble. Another person had a conversation with O'Brien
which, unfortunately tapered off just when O'Brien was about to
tell him what happened :-(
- I was about to create a similar symb link, but a little more
research showed that perhaps a better understanding was in order
(above find and ls). The Makefiles are kinda confusing to me so
perhaps I should ask my first question of the list...ports or
questions?
