Hi I'm trying to get g77 to work on a P3 here and am having a time of it. Actually, I'm trying to install another program and the configure script is bombing when it tries to use g77. It complains that ld can't find crtbegin.o. I have another machine that is "identical" to this one and the test program compiles just fine. I've made sure that crtbegin.o is in all the same places on both machines. I've reinstalled the compilers (gcc and g77) a couple of times and, at least according to my notes in the first install, there hasn't been additional problems. Certainly none that LOOKED serious. I've ripped out binutils (the source of ld) and reinstalled, but that didn't help. I don't see anywhere in the man pages where ld is searching. Though some options to the compiler might be a workaround, I'd rather get it working correctly. Anyone have any ideas on what to look for?
