Wrong Architecture.' My first guess would be that something with the same name as your program has eneded up in your path. Make sure you are running the correct program with "which progname". You could also try "gcc -v" which makes gcc a bit more verbose. It sounds either like something silly, or a weird compiler problem. David.
