Hi, Thanks for your reply.

Ok, good points.

I was a little surprised that GCC checks the PATH as well, if the wrong jc1 got
called that might introduce a problem I would expect.. (but I'm sure there is a
 reason).

How about changing it just to give an indication of what the jc1 file is and
where was searched?

gcc: installation problem, cannot exec GNU Java Compiler jc1 in
'/usr/lib/gcc/i486-linux-gnu/4.0.3/' or the PATH.

* Presently it says "No such file or directory", when jc1 would definitely not
be a directory.

Kind regards
Jon
