Uh, sorry, pkg_add -r gcc30 will install the software in _exactaly_ the same place as you would get GCC on one of your "non-native" platforms. You will also get a duplicate C compiler (besides acc [HPUX], or cc [Solaris]). So why does all this bother you on FreeBSD and not those platforms? -- -- David (obrien@FreeBSD.org) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
