Installation problems binutils-2.18 (part 2)

[wim]

Dear Brian !

Thank you for your fast response and your analysis !

In the directory ~libiberty I have  the following files

-rw-r--r--    1 wim      users           0 Jul  8 21:25 config.cache
-rw-r--r--    1 wim      users       27174 Jul  8 21:25 config.log
-rw-r--r--    1 wim      users          71 Jul  8 21:25 xhost-mkfrag

See the attachments for details

About the output of the following command:
gcc -print-prog-name=as

The output is simply:

as

looking in /bin with the command "whatis as"


address@hidden:/bin> whatis as
as (1)               - the portable GNU assembler.

Checking the version of "as" with as --version

address@hidden:/bin> as --version
GNU assembler 2.9

I hope this info is useful to tackle the problem

Many thanks and looking for your response

Wim Eijsenga
