Installation Problem

[Sven Eschenberg]

Well, the output states:
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': No such file or directory

Did you check if there is any as / gas ? Does it work properly?
And can you compil any small c programm by hand?

Because if gcc complains about the fact, that it cannot find any assembler,
it is obvious that it is not able to produce executeables, isn't it?

Regards
