You simply haven't provided enough information to guess what the cause or solution of the problem might be. Did you really type "gmke -j", or was that a typo for "gmake -j"? If the latter, it will execute the commands specified in your Makefile, possibly in parallel. Those commands could do quite literally anything, and you haven't given us a hint what the Makefile looks like. You've also been vague about what "the C compiler has not beeing working properly" means. You haven't even told us which C compiler you're using. In any case, this doesn't look like a question about the C language, which is what we discuss here -- and I don't know why you cross-posted to comp.lang.c++. -- Keith Thompson (The_Other_Keith) kst-u@mib.org Working, but not speaking, for JetHead Development, Inc.
