Greetings- I'm a pretty new user of FreeBSD and I've enjoyed every minute of it so far. I'm trying to update gcc via the package/ports system, but I've had a few problems. 'pkg_add -r gcc' Results in a error message that the file is unavailable. This make sense, because the package it's looking for (ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-4.7-release/Latest/gcc. tgz) does not exist. I downloaded the ports package (/usr/ports) and went into the /lang/gcc directory. I first tried 'make.' That ran for awhile, but when it finished, gcc still reported version '2.95.4.' After that, I realized I should run 'make install.' That ran for awhile, but in the end, when I ran gcc -v I still got this message- Using builtin specs. gcc version 2.95.4 20020320 [FreeBSD] I'd like to be using 3.2 so I'd be using the same compiler as my University's server. I could get the source from GNU and install that, but I'm trying to utilize the FreeBSD Package/ports system as much as possible. Am I missing something?? Is there something else I should try?
