Please help installing GCC on IRIX 6.5

I have:

1 - Downloaded gcc-2.95.2 from SGI's freeware site, and burned it on a
cdrom

2 - Ran inst and selected the extracted gcc folder as install path,
then typed go

3 - Inst installs the package fine, and requistarts the ELF files -
everything looks good

I try to run make (on software that requires gcc) and it fails. It's
check shows that gcc was not found. Also, I try to run gmake and it
just says command not found. What else am I missing? I've tried
adding gcc in the PATH variable too, but that doesn't seem to help.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance,

Scott

Refresh my memory, how do I add those to my PATH again?

Also, I didn't see gcc 3.3 on freeware.sgi.com. All I see is 2.95.2.
And I've already installed the entire "Development Foundation" cd. Is
that the same thing as IDF? It clearly says "IRIX 6.5 Development
Foundation" on the cd.

Thanks so much for your help guys. This is very frustrating.

First of all, thanks so much for the help.

I didn't see gcc 3.3, because the freeware site I was looking on didn't
have it. It was not the 6.5 sgi freeware site - it was the "6.2 and
upwards" site.

http://freeware.sgi.com/fw-6.2/index-by-alpha.html#gcc

That was my mistake. Anyway, I sucessfully got gcc installed, but it's
not working properly. It's complaining about how the C compiler cannot
create executables (crt1.o error). From looking at SGI's gcc page for
this dist, the error means that dev.sw.lib is not installed on my
system. That is odd, because I have installed the entire "Development
Libraries" and "Development Foundation" cd's. I did notice however,
that in fact, crt1.o was not present on my system. When I try to
install that dev.sw by itself, I get "error: product /CDROM/dist/dev.sw
is bad". In fact, I get that same error if I try to load any other
distribution one by one off that cd. I can load the entire dist
directory as a distribution, but not a single package (such as dev.sw)

Any ideas on that?

Thanks again,

Scott
