Subject:	Installing the gcc compiler on a network

I have been trying to install the compiler on a network supported by a sun
unix compiler. 

There does not appear to be a problem with each pc finding the files over the
network. (I wrote a script file that adds in all the required paths, before
executing the compiler)

At first when the compiler was started it complained that the machine needed
to be in real mode, not V86. I assume that this was a problem with running
emm386.sys with noems. 

Changing to a machine running QEMMS this problem was solved, but the compiler
appears to do nothing. The keyboard is locked, and needs to be rebooted.

I am running 

SET  GO32=ansi

on an IBM PS/2, with DOS 5.0. I think there are 4 or 5 M of memory.

I am using device = c:\dos\ansi.sys in config.sys. I tried adding the switch
\k to see if this had any effect, but it did not.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what I'm doing wrong.
I got the code from the ftp site micros.hensa.ac.uk. It comes with all the
source, and just about everything else. We dont have another C compiler on the
PCs, although we do have one on a network of suns.

Yours,
	Dave Reynard
