Hi Tomas,

Thanks for your advice, it sounds logical. Unfortunately it does not work for
me, if had some more basic linux knowledge I guess I would find the cause.
Anyway I'll post my symptoms below:

[root@jaguar mico]# ./configure --disable-mini-stl
loading cache ./config.cache
checking for extra include and lib directories...
   + found /usr/local/include
   + found /usr/local/lib
checking host system type... i586-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i586-pc-linux-gnu
checking build system type... i586-pc-linux-gnu
checking for gcc... egcc
checking whether the C compiler (egcc  -L/usr/local/lib) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot create executables.

Any hints ? (i.e. this is the situation after putting "export CC=egcs" into
.bashrc)

Thanks for your time,
			Lasse
