Alberto, nvnews.net is a fan/nVidia news site, not an "official" representation of nVidia. Just thought I'd point that out. Although it is said that there are 2 nVidia employees on the Unix team that frequently hangs out in that forum.Originally Posted by tseliot
Thanks for the information. I talked to a developer of the drivers in there so I think it's quite a useful place to ask questions and to find solutions.Originally Posted by DancingSun

I did something a little different. To find out where 'gcc' is located I did:Originally Posted by jodef
which returned:Code:$ which gcc
then I made a symbolic link to gcc called cc so programs trying to use 'cc' would get gcc, with this code:Code:/usr/bin/gcc
HTH,Code:$ sudo ln -s /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/cc
