Re: GCC and OpenMP

Sophia,

As a general rule, it's best to try building the source and installing  
it; that will get you the most repeatable results and the most  
informative help from mailing lists.

If you're getting errors during the source build, please send the text  
of the error and a description of what you did to the "gcc-help@gcc.gnu.org 
" mailing list.  As a general rule, your Linux distribution version  
should not matter for this.

Sincerely,
Sean Callanan
