Actually, an Indigo running 4.0.1, gcc 2.7.2.1

Right... gcc and tcl/tk can be found precompiled in a number of sites
(mainly in Europe), but to make gcc run correctly, you must install
GNU binutils before. You can't even compile gcc with the not-bundled C
compiler, you need GNU's assembler before...

I have reported a couple of times problems with BLT. Mainly, you have
to turn off optimization, or you'll get an assembler error. Others
pose no problem.

Me, I installed swarm beta and run fine (except for tcl color error
messages), and with the O2, I'm still trying to make gcc work. I have
tried compiling C and It does not, I'll try objc.

See ya!
