C++ Compiler

**bionik** · 02-27-2003

Hi
I need to install a C++ compiler on an old Caldera ver.2.4 box. I know I need gcc and g++. I checked rpmfind.net and didnt find them for the caldera distribution, anyone know where I can find them? I dont have the cd anymore

Thanks

You can always go to www.gnu.org to download the source and install from that.

Ok I found the cdrom but gcc and g++ are not included?? Would it be under a different name for the Caldera distribution? Thanks

Tried installing the tarball from the link above. I got the following error
when doing ./configure for gcc3.2.2

checking whether build environment is sane... configure: error: newly created file is older than distributed files!
Check your system clock

Thanks

Could you check the output of "ls -l configure; date" (in the unpacked directory)?

This is what I got...

-rwxr-xr-x 1 bionik users 50535 Jun 24 09:14 configure

So your system clock is set to Oct 13 2002? No wonder it complained. =)
Just set your system clock at will work better.

I would suggest running something like ntpd. I run a ntp server and have all my other servers sync their clocks to it. Never have to worry about incorrect time.

Exactly, I'm doing the same. See http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/ for the U.S. master clock.
