Hi,

I recently installed gcc 3.4 on a linode running ubuntu 11.10, because I needed it for some older software. I simply included a couple hardy apt sources in my sources.list so I could install the last version of gcc 3.4 that was in the repositories. It seemed to do ok, but when I ./configure CXX=gcc-3.4 it gives me the following: config.log follows

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while

running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by AweMUD configure 0.25, which was

generated by GNU Autoconf 2.60. Invocation command line was

$ ./configure CXX=g++-3.4 LD=ld-3.4

I tried ld=… because I dind't know if I needed an older ld… but that didn't

Any help is appreciated.

seem to help… so just ignore it for now :P.

Thanks,
