  34 <PRE>This is a question which should go unanswered as you are provided with all
  35 the info you need to deduct what's wrong. Let me help you, and everyone else
  36 quickly.
  37
  38 Briefly gcc 2.96 is an unofficial release of the gcc compiler and
  39 ircservices does not work on it. To get them to work either upgrade to gcc
  40 3.x or downgrade to 2.95.3.
  41
  42 There is a work around though. Though I really do recommend that you upgrade
  43 or downgrade your compiler because if you follow the workaround we will
  44 *not* help you with any problems you may experience.
  45
  46 Okay so now you have the latest version under your belt. You have done
  47 ./configure and you are given this message:
  48
  49 *** WHOA THERE! ***
  50
  51 Your system seems to have gcc 2.96 installed.
  52 This is an unofficial release of the GCC compiler which
  53 contains serious bugs and cannot compile Services correctly.
  54
  55 Please upgrade GCC to a newer version, or downgrade to
  56 version 2.95.3, before compiling Services.
  57
  58 See question B.1 in the FAQ for details.
  59
  60
  61 To save you the time of checking up in the FAQ, read below.
  62
  63 B.1. When I run &quot;make&quot;, I get an error message like &quot;missing separator&quot;,
  64      &quot;Need an operator&quot;, &quot;Unexpected end of line seen&quot;, etc.
  65
  66         Your make program isn't compatible with the Makefile for Services.
  67         The Makefile was designed to work with GNU make, and as such may
  68         not work on other systems' &quot;make&quot; programs.  If you get an error
  69         from &quot;make&quot;, obtain GNU make from <A HREF="ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/">ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/</A>
  70         (or wherever you prefer) and use it instead of your system's
  71         default &quot;make&quot;.  Note that GNU make may already be installed on
  72         your system; try using the command &quot;gmake&quot; instead of &quot;make&quot;.
  73
  74         The make programs bundled with SunOS/Solaris and FreeBSD have been
  75         reported not to work; you will need to use GNU make on these
  76         systems.
  77
  78
  79 Right now that you know what you're getting yourself into, lets make
  80 services work with gcc 2.96. Remember that if you do this we will not
  81 provide any assistance to you.
  82
  83 Run the ./configure script with the following suffix:
  84
  85 ./configure -force-gcc-2.96
  86
  87 This will bypass the gcc 2.96 check and you can carry on with setting up
  88 your services. Again this is not recommended and is unsupported, though I do
  89 wish you luck.
  90
  91 Dylan.
