Hello SuSE people, Went to install an nvidia driver (the hard way) in my old 10.3 because I have a new video card. The installer could not run because it couldn't find "cc" in my path. gcc is installed. So the question is: How do I find out? get it there if necessary? Was in run level 3 as root of course, and in the / directory. Bob S -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Huh? Weird. Anyway: do, as root, ln -s `which gcc` /usr/local/bin/cc and all should be fine.

What does 'which gcc' say? What's the output of 'rpm -qa|fgrep gcc'? Philipp -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org

Thanks to all for replying. Still no luck. Philipp, "which gcc" returns no output. The rpm -qa query returns the following: bob@Easystreet:~> rpm -qa|fgrep gcc gcc-gij-4.1.3-29 gcc41-4.1.2_20061115-5 gcc-4.1.3-29 libgcc41-4.1.2_20061115-5 gcc41-gij-32bit-4.1.2_20061115-7 libgcc41-32bit-4.1.2_20061115-5 gcc41-gij-4.1.2_20061115-7 bob@Easystreet:~> I tried both of the suggested previous links and they seem to have been made. The first link from Aaron. ln -s gcc cc, created a cc and it points to gcc, wherever it is. Not in /usr/bin. The second link from David, ln -s `which gcc` /usr/local/bin/cc, created a link to "which gcc" which i guess means nothing. But nvidia installer still complains. Where is gcc actually installed? rpm -qa finds it, but I can't. This is on my old 10.2 that I really want to keep for awhile and is 64 bit.

I see a slight discrepancy there. Shouldn't these all be either 4.1.2 or 4.1.3? Also, you might want to run rpm -V gcc-4.1.3-29 gcc41-4.1.2_20061115-5
The second link from David, ln -s `which gcc` /usr/local/bin/cc, created a link to "which gcc" which i guess means nothing.
Then you did not use the backticks ``. And of course, to be useful, "which gcc" must return the path to gcc.

Hm. is the nvidia-driver 64bit? You might want to also install gcc-32bit. And gcc-c++ gcc41-c++. I'm just guessing wildly here though.

Hi David. Didn't notice that. Wonder if it's important.
Also, you might want to run > rpm -V gcc-4.1.3-29 gcc41-4.1.2_20061115-5
I'll try that tomorrow and post the result. Got to shut down and reboot to 10.2. Getting late now.
The second link from David, ln -s `which gcc` /usr/local/bin/cc, created a link to "which gcc" which i guess means nothing.

You are correct. Aaron already straightened me out about that. And FYI "which gcc" produces no output.
But nvidia installer still complains. Where is gcc actually installed? rpm -qa finds it, but I can't. This is on my old 10.2 that I really want to keep for awhile and is 64 bit.
Hm. is the nvidia-driver 64bit? You might want to also install gcc-32bit. And gcc-c++ gcc41-c++. I'm just guessing wildly here though.
Yes, the driver is 64 bit. Hate the idea of installing all kinds of stuff willy-nilly just to see if that fixes it. Besides this is 10.2 and there is no easy way to do that.
You are aware, that 10.2 is out of support and there's quite a bunch of security bugs discovered since then? Have you updated/patched all affected packages?
Mostly, I guess. I did until it was "decomissioned". Not easy to do now. I hate to just throw away this install because I have all kinds of neat stuff on it that I don't want to lose. I guess after I install 11.2 GM and decide if it works sufficiently well I will have to spend some time finding and moving my "neat stuff" to 11.2 and drop 10.2.

Yeah, I hear you. I am actually running 11.0 as my OS on a daily basis and rarely run 10.2. I have not been very happy with upgrades so far. Too many "loose ends". I prefer to install new and then physically/manually move my stuff over. Just a lot of work though. 11.0 is running pretty well but with KDE3. 11.2 will be another story. We will see. Any othe ideas or suggestions will be wecomed.

Maybe, your gcc is too old.
Please Please try with "--no-cc-version-check".
Masaru, Thanks for the input. Tried your option (without quotes) and was notified that it was not valid. Bob S -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
