It is a debian based Linux version.  It is 32 bit, but it isn't one of the  
big distros.
I run eLive which is an Enlightenment-based wm system on top of debian.

I double-checked that I don't have problems with simplistic C or C++  
compilations.

Other places on the 'Net there are people who get around such problems by  
making soft links, but I'm
very hestitant to do something like that without knowing why this is  
happening.


I was hoping someone had seen this type of thing before.
