Hi Rachael,
ok, i have installed gcc 2.95.3, if I'm not wrong version 3 if for Solaris 8 platform.
This gcc will only works under /usr/local directory.
Under /usr, there is no local directory, you have to create one and ungzip everything under this directory.
If you did not specify the gcc location in your cshrc. you need to provide the full path.
for example, I'm running vhdlan CC_PATH /usr/local <filename.vhd>
regards
Jen
