- If you look back I described how I got into trouble
- compiling gdb.
- Here is the prologue.
- I installed the gcc again and it worked. (BTW I got ~4Mb
- binary ?)
- Like I said I had gcc 2.2.2d working excellently - I
- compiled the kernel, lots of X apps, ghost* stuff. Everything OK
- till gdb compilation.
- It broke my compiler completely, I couldn't even compile
- hello.c!
- I installed gcc again and it seems to work. (I also
- upgraded to pl4 - but after succesfull gdb compilation). I have one
- suspicion:
- long ago, still in `dark' (ie my knowledge level) days I
- installed cron and told it to rm -f in /tmp and /usr/tmp - without
- questions asked! Now I know it is BAD but I forgot to
- remove it (crond).
- The /tmp removal was scheduled at 11pm - about the time I was
- compiling that gdb thing. I know, compiler uses /tmp a
- lot. Now, any comments ? (besides on my stupidity).
- BTW What is a good way to clean /tmp dir (ie preserving
- crushed editors files, not deleting files being used etc)?
- BTW2: I don't have MCC (some people told me internal
- compiler error occurs there).
- Thanx
