Compiling and linking Gnu-Pascal under Fedora 11 on x86_64 hardware.

[John Gordon Ollason]

Greetings,

I had to upgrade my hardware from i686 to x86_64 and my operating system  
 from Fedora Core 4 to Fedora Core 11. I have tried to install Gnu-Pascal  
by downloading several versions from the Gnu-Pascal homepage and all  
attempts fail Every attempt to use make terminated in errors as follows:
--
. . .
make[2]: *** [32/libgcc_s_32.so] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gpcbuild/gcc'
make[1]: *** [libgcc.a] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/src/gpcbuild/gcc'
make: *** [all-gcc] Error 2
fail.

I downloaded the install.gpc script and that didn't work either. The  
closest I have got to a working system is illustrated by the listing below.

and there I am stuck.

Any constructive suggestions about what to try next would be very welcome.

Thanks,
