Presumably yes, if you're using csh. You can test it with:

    echo $GCC

or with either of

    make -n
    make --warn-undefined-variables

as I suggested last time.

However, the error you got (which I can reproduce) is consistent with
the GCC environment variable *not* being set.

It's normal for C source not to be executable, yes, but it shouldn't
make a difference to the build process. I only mentioned it because you
would have seen a different error if it was not flagged executable.

Rup.
