David, I have GCC 3.1.1, and the shared libraries were installed in
/usr/local/lib, which is one of the default places for the loader to look.
Did things change for 3.2? As a workaround, you could create a softlink (ln
-s) from the files in /usr/local/gnu/lib to /user/local/lib.

However, I strongly recommend that you use the native cc compiler instead.
My experience with GCC on the Alpha architecture is that it does a bad job
of optimizing code and runs much slower, and tends to be buggy.

Also, don't forget that privsep doesn't work for Tru64 in this release.
