Thanks, There IS the problem. I went the cheap route and downloaded the 5 CD iso files and installed SUSE 9.3. Is there an SUSE ftp site where the gcc-g77*.rpm file can be downloaded? I bought the 9.2 Pro version and thought I'd skip 9.3 but the 5 CD iso files were so tempting to try out 9.3. So far 9.3 seems pretty good (never had a problem with 9.2).
I did a search and the first mirror that turned up was from the Technical University of Clausthal (<http://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/>). If you trust their packages not to be corrupt, then retrieve the g77 package from there: <http://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/SuSE-9.3/suse/i586>, <http://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/SuSE-9.3/suse/i586/gcc-g77-3.3.5-5.i586.rpm>. All the GCC RPMs appear to be there: <http://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/SuSE-9.3/suse/i586/gcc-3.3.5-5.i586.rpm> <http://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/SuSE-9.3/suse/i586/gcc-c++-3.3.5-5.i586.rpm> <http://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/SuSE-9.3/suse/i586/gcc-debuginfo-3.3.5-5.i586.rpm> <http://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/SuSE-9.3/suse/i586/gcc-g77-3.3.5-5.i586.rpm> <http://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/SuSE-9.3/suse/i586/gcc-info-3.3.5-5.i586.rpm> <http://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/SuSE-9.3/suse/i586/gcc-java-3.3.5-5.i586.rpm> <http://ftp.tu-clausthal.de/pub/linux/SuSE-9.3/suse/i586/gcc-locale-3.3.5-5.i586.rpm> By the way, the .../586 link is a catch-all with hundreds and hundreds of links (about 2 megabytes of HTML, pretty much noting but links). I'd avoid it if possible and just retrieve the RPM link using wget. There are doubtless other repositories and mirrors, but this is the first one I came accross. Good luck.

By the way, are you a pipe-stress freak or a crystallography weenie? Randall Schulz
