GNU Pascal

I had installed gnu pascal ( I downloaded the binay, decompressed it and
untared it).

I was able to compile a pascal program with gpc, But the linker
error saying unable to find -lgcc appeared, on compilation.

Can someone be of some help.
Thanks in advance.

On which system?  Sorry, but without more specific information
I can only guess what your problem is.

On some systems, GNU Pascal needs the `libgcc.a' library.

Please make sure that your library path points to the directory
containing `libgcc.a'.

To hunt the bug, invoke `gpc' with the `-v' option and see
where `gpc' is looking for the libraries.

Unfortunately you didn't say which system you're using. E.g., for DJGPP, you
need some "utilities", too. Please take a look at the DJGPP FAQ, reachable via
the GPC homepage http://home.pages.de/~GNU-Pascal/

If you can't find a solution there, please send a mail with more specific
information to the GPC mailing list g...@hut.fi

I don't know what system your working on, but if it's DOS, have you already
downloaded GNU C? If not, look at www.delorie.com for more about DJGPP. I don't
know if this applies to other systems or not, but I'm pretty sure you must
already have the C compiler and libraries to use GNU Pascal (gpc) with DJGPP.

  You are correct in this assumption.  On most other systems,
programming is
useless unless you have the C programming package.
