Compiler problems

[hornet77]

Hi, I have a SGI Altix. This runs a variant of RedHat. The architecture is ia64. The current version of gcc is 2.96. I have been trying to install new compilers (gcc-3.2.2 and gcc-3.3). I am now thinking that the current compiler is broken. Anytime I try and compile anything, I get the following errors:

as: unrecognized option `-x'
***The command 'gcc -o conftest -02 conftest.c' failed.
***You mest set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.

I have also asked one of our software developers to try and compile something and it did not work. How do I fix the current compiler and get the new ones installed??

Thanks!!

It's not gcc that is giving you that error, it is 'as' the assembler. You might need to find a binary distribution of gas for your platform.
