Re: Where can I get egcs64 for sparc64 Linux ?
Thank you, Ari and Steffan.
Even after tyring "apt-get", I still had the problem.
However, after I followed Ari's advice, I could get it and
the problem went away!!
swbeta20:/etc/apt# apt-get install egcs64
Reading Package Lists... Done
Building Dependency Tree... Done
The following NEW packages will be installed:
egcs64
0 packages upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 4 not upgraded.
Need to get 0B/1017kB of archives. After unpacking 2793kB will be used.
Selecting previously deselected package egcs64.
(Reading database ... 54829 files and directories currently installed.)
Unpacking egcs64 (from .../egcs64_1%3a19980921-4_sparc.deb) ...
Setting up egcs64 (19980921-4) ...
