 I used the Cookbook/emcinst22/install.html to 
install the june 7 version on 
mandrake 7.1 with compiler 2.95.3. 
This one is even worse as the 2.95.2 version of 
Mandrake 7.0. 
Except from the problems in the installation notes, 
there is an additional problem. 
Everywhere where <asm/io.h> or 
<sys/io.h> is included there are compiler problems. 
To make the problem as small as possible I created 
a small c file with only the include 
and the tried to compile with several options, see 
below. 
The first problem I had was with drotest.c (emcmot 
dir), while being a c-file it is compiled with g++ by 
the EMC makefile instead of gcc.  
I could solve the problem by changing the makefile 
to use gcc instead of g++ and added the 
-O2 optimize option. 
The next file where I encountered this problem was 
in debug.cc (emctask dir), 
here I cannot solve it because watever options I 
try with g++ I cannot compile. 
Added the problems in emcsh.cc, which is all 
perfect C/C++ code, I get bad feelings 
with the famous GNU compiler. My question here is 
whats wrong, did mandrake put an 
unstable version in the 7.0 and even worse in the 
7.1 release or what? 
Can anybody tell me how to get and install a better 
compiler, I am new to Linux. 
Should I report these bugs to GNU ?  
the c-code  
============= 
#include <sys/io.h> 
void main(void) 
{ 
    ; 
} 
============= 
g++ file.c 
result: 
In file included from file.c: 
/usr/include/sys/io.h: In function "void outl(unsigned int, short unsigned 
int)": 
/usr/include/sys/io.h:125:parse error before "::" 
the piece of code in io.h: 
==================== 
122:extern inline void 
123:outl(unsigned short value, unsigned short port) 
124:{ 
125:    __asm__ __volatile__ ("outl %0, %w1::"a" (value), 
"Nd" (port)); 
126:}
