compiling issues

Hi,

You should ask the question to the team that provide the software: in theory, if configure is OK, make should not crash.

One may note that the paths: /home/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/../../include/c++/4.3/ are *very* strange. Why is your compiler in your /home directory? The file hierarchy looks messy, and it is not surprising that gcc does not find some header files.

my /usr directory is a symlink to /home/usr
Thats the only difference to my file hierarchy, to a default ubuntu install (other than packages i've installed).

Could you tell me what your paths are, and a command I can use to add your paths onto mine?

My hard disks are setup with most of linux on my 10gb partition on my first disk. Then I moved my /home folder to my second disk, I realised that with 10gb my /usr directory would quickly fill up that disk (I play alot of games XD), so I moved it to the other disk, I couldn't make it the root of the drive, because /home needed to be, so I just it in the /home folder, then symlinked it. So then my entire second disk is mounted to /home, while /usr is symlinked to the usr folder on my /home disk. If you think its this thats causing the compiling problem, then can you think of a better way to set it up? I want /home and /usr to use the same space as each other (not have them on two seperate partitions) because I don't want the /usr partition to fill up when theres still room on the /home partition and vice versa :)

I just tried compiling a few very basic umm 'programs'.
I had in it,
#include <stddef.h>
int main ()
{
}

that compiled flawlessly, I then added float.h as an included header, still compiled absolutely fine, found the headers no problem I then added cstddef as a header, and it gives me:
In file included from test.c:3:
/home/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/../../include/c++/4.3/cstddef:48:25: error: stddef.h: No such file or directory

I then removed stddef.h and float.h, and left only cstddef and it gives me:
In file included from test.c:1:
/home/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/../../include/c++/4.3/cstddef:48:25: error: stddef.h: No such file or directory
In file included from test.c:1:
/home/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/../../include/c++/4.3/cstddef:55: error: ‘::ptrdiff_t’ has not been declared
/home/usr/bin/../lib/gcc/../../include/c++/4.3/cstddef:56: error: ‘::size_t’ has not been declared

so whatever problems are being caused, are being caused by cstddef choking on something :S

ok found problem, not sure why its happening, but the compiler is choking on #include_next I replaced the lines that had that in it with #include in both cstddef and cfloat and these errors are gone :D

Hi,

I think I have a similar problem with nzadLithium. I have the following error, and figured it could be a compiler bug from Cruncher's web site link. So I downloaded up-to-date gcc but failed to install it. Is there anyone having any idea how I can proceed? I am in impasse. Thanks in advance,
