I saw a similar error during the install of iAS 9.0.4 on Suse 8 on AMD64. In that case the 32 bit gcc was getting called by Oracle and passing a 64 bit source to ld. As iAS 9.0.4 is a 32 bit app, this caused an error very close to the one you've seen, and prevented iAS from linking anything.

The workaround was to create a script for gcc that explicitly called the 64 bit gcc and passed it a 32 bit flag, then it worked. This script was then named "gcc" and put in /usr/bin/.

By looking at the file you could determine if it is getting built as a 32 or 64 bit version. If it is the 32 bit in your case, try moving the gcc somewhere else temporarily and create a script to call it with the desired flag in its place. Received on Fri Jul 22 2005 - 00:55:41 CDT
