bug report

[rsand at vgalleries dot com (Richard Sand)]

GCC version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)

Platform is AIX 4.3.2

 

I tried both the AIX 4.3.1 binaries packaged in LPP form from http://www-frec.bull.com/docs/download.htm

as well as the AIX 4.3.2 binaries downloaded from http://aixpdslib.seas.ucla.edu/aixpdslib.html

 

With both, I experience the following bug when trying ANY compilation:

 

rsand:/home/rsand>gcc -c abc.c
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': A file or directory in the path name does not exist.

 

...where abc.c is:

 

#include <stdio.h>

 

int main(int argc, char** argv)
{
   int i;
   for (i = 0; i < 5; i++) printf("i = %d\n", i);
} 

 

The verbose output is:
