My sysadmin did the installation:

| Thanks.

| Unfortunately it is too alpha - it crashes even for this:
| 
| strawberry 40% cat t.p
| program t (output);
| begin
| writeln(output,'hello world');
| end.
| strawberry 41% /usr/local/gpc/bin/gpc t.p
| strawberry 42% a.out
| Segmentation Fault
| 
| :-(
| 
| strawberry 44% /usr/local/gpc/bin/gpc -v
| Reading specs from /export/data/local/gpc/bin/../lib/gcc-lib/sparc-sun-solaris2.8/3.3.3/specs
| Configured with: /export/home/bryantd/gpc-build/../gcc-3.3.3/configure --enable-languages=pascal --prefix=/usr/local/gpc
| Thread model: posix
| gpc version 20050331, based on gcc-3.3.3
| 
| When I try to use /usr/local/bin/gpc-2.1 in my gpcc script
| (/home/strawberry/toms/work/emptytest/gpcc2.1), I get:
| 
| gpc1: Invalid option `-Wno-identifier-case-local'
| 
| so I can't compile until this is fixed ...

My gpcc script is at
ftp://ftp.ncifcrf.gov/pub/delila/gpcc
in gpcc2.1 I just modified the location of the compiler.

I'm working on a Sun:

% uname -aimnprsvX
SunOS strawberry 5.9 Generic_117171-12 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000System = SunOS

Good luck with that, it doesn't seem to be much to go on ...

Thanks!!  I didn't think to look for solved bugs under 'to do' ... ;-)
