hellooo every one
friends when i try even a simple program comilation with gcc like
#gcc a.c
it states
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': No such file or directory
i am unable to locate the package `as`...pls help me in this regard i want to remove this error as it doesnt allow gcc to make executables ... and i need to from a source executables badly...
i cant afford reinstallation of RH 7.3..the os used....may be some one @ AO helps me...lokking @ AO for help buddies.
try gcc -o <filename> <file name.c> or a simple make a
same problem exists
[root@local root]# gcc -o a a.c
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': No such file or directory
[root@local root]# make a
cc a.c -o a
cc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': No such file or directory
make: *** [a] Error 1
Have you tried up-dating gcc ?
gcc -v shows
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/2.96/specs
gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-110)
this is the same that comes bundeled with RH 7.3...it worx fine on other m/cs but i think in installation i have left some package....
Havent used gcc in a while, sounds like the file as.exe is either missing or cannot be found in your path:
from http://sunsite.nus.edu.sg/solaris_2.5/faq.html#q4
The 'as' program can be found in the directory
/usr/ccs/bin/
You will need to add this to your UNIX PATH. If you cannot find this in the above directory, you may not have installed all of the Sun packages. See the next question also.
EDIT: Ok as.exe is an assembler used by cc (gcc) and should be found in the binutils rpm package, installed ls & as should be located in usr/bin and this should also apear in your $PATH
Strange.
Several things:
- as is not in /usr/ccs/bin (that directory is only used on some other types of Unix IIRC)
- as is not called "as.exe". Unix executables do not usually end with .exe (although they're not forbidden from doing so)
- as should be installed by default in /usr/bin/as in Redhat 7.3
As the error message suggests, there really is an installation problem.
The package containing /usr/bin/as is "binutils". However it should normally be installed if gcc is.
Try reinstalling the binutils package. If that doesn't help, then maybe you've managed to break something. Did you install anything without respecting dependencies?
Slarty
dude.. gcc 2.96 is the worst version to date. Incompatible with gtk+2, etc etc
What i would do, since its so risky to try and recompile gcc, i would back up what i need and install a good distro, like slack 9 :P
well several things to clear up...buddies no re installtion... i am in a big FIX....sorry erOK .....binutils is installed... all dependencies honoured....i would try to reinstall binutils....well salatry infact what so ever be the mistakes of journey....he has helped....he deserves appriciation....
installing binutils have helped........but again a new problem has crept in.....
{seems to be ....every prob has a sol. and for every sol. there exists another prob.......getting true to larger extent...}
now gcc says
/usr/bin/ld: cannot open crt1.o: No such file or directory
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
i have checked with the journey's link...i installed byacc...and flex...but none helps....
i look @ gcc FAQ...no listing....now looking @ AO
Now I'm not a user of RH...but a simple search on the RH support site shows that there was a bug fix released..
see http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHBA-2000-132.html
If I were you, I'd get a new version of gcc (maybe try http://gcc.gnu.org/) - not sure if they hold RPMs, biut I'm sure you can grab a binary.
Remove the old version (after a backup if it's a 'live' box...obviously)
Install the new version
Hope this helps a bit
It seems that your RPM dependencies have gone a bit pear shaped.Quote:

I would suggestd using apt/synaptic as this will qucikly tell you what package dependencies are broken and try and fix them for you.
If you need further help with using apt/synaptic please feel free to drop me a line, either here or at:
