Re: Problem compiling gtexinfo on Interix 6.1 (64 bit) [FIXED]

["Carson M. Chittom" <cmchittom%att.net@localhost>]

Putting /opt/gcc.3.3/bin in my PATH before /bin worked like a charm.  I 
*knew* I was missing something obvious.  Thank you for your help.

For 64bit SUA 6.1, /bin/ar is just a wrapper script for LINK.EXE,
same as that /bin/cc is for CL.EXE/LINK.EXE.
It is not usable unless you have Visual Studio (or something else).
(msc support for pkgsrc is not committed yet though).

How about put "/opt/gcc.3.3/bin" before "/bin" for your $PATH settings?
