Ok, I pulled gcc-1.35.aux.bin.Z over from apple.com and uncompressed it. What do I do to the file now to get gcc out? I have a file shortened to gcc.bin So now what? are there files inside this? where are the other files mentioned in the readme that go in /usr/local/bin? I have no idea what a binary distribution is or a stage3 build file. -David "Still trying to get emacs & gcc up"

The name was changed to give much more indication of what it contained than gcc.bin.tar.Z. My suggestion would be to rename it to gcc.bin.tar.Z, and then zcat gcc.bin.tar.Z | tar xvf - That should produce the files mentioned in the readme. Opinions: MINE, ALL MINE!

If you shortened the file name just by renaming it, rename it to "gcc.bin.Z" and then do "uncompress gcc.bin". This expands the file to its original size, so that tar can be used to extract files from it. ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
