I first tried 'make.' That ran for awhile, but when it I don't see a "lang/gcc". I see a collection of lang/gcc. Did you really go to lang/gcc32? > finished, gcc still reported version '2.95.4.'

The one the port installed is probably /usr/local/bin/gcc, or /usr/local/bin/gcc32 or some such. > I'd like to be using 3.2 so I'd be using the same compiler as my > University's server.

Is there something else I should try? Well, going to 5.0 has been suggested, but moving off -STABLE seems extreme when there are ports of the version you want. However, if you want to compile your system with 3.2, going to -CURRENT - via 5.0-RELEASE - is the easiest solution. http://www.mired.org/consulting.html Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
