- This is probably something _really_ simple, something I may even find
- if I poke around some more this weekend, but considering the
- importance and the impending weekend, you can imagine why I might
- ask here :-)
-
- I recently upgraded my 4d/310 to 4.0.1 and then to 4.0.5 In the
- process, my outgoing mail won't, but that is minor compared to having
- lost my C compiler --- I can find the cpp, the lib's, the includes,
- but nothing resembling a compiler :-( When I run 'versions' I see
- C listed in the list of installed items, and on checking on another
- IRIS, I found 'cc' was a softlink to a file named 'device', but again,
- in the wake of this upgrade, I can't find anything even remotely
- similar to link to 'cc'.
-
- Is it possible 'versions' is mistaken? How does it know what is
- installed? The big question is "Where is cc or how do I find it" but
- since this group does not abound with this question, maybe a more
- sensible question might be, "How might I find a lost cc?" or simply
- "which manual covers this sort of thing" ;-)
-
- My apologies for grabbing bandwidth for such trivialities, but any
- suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
