[LLVMdev] redhat 9, compiling llvm-1.0.tar.gz

I see. Anyway, it would be nice to have a few words about building/installing llvm and cfrontend. I fail to find notes on this matter in README or INSTALL files.

(BTW, concerning compilation of cfrontend both `make bootstrap' and `make' fail while linkage phase, I guess I should have set some options to `configure' and/or some environment variables)

Sorry if I've missed some docs.

as before, I am intrested mostly in JIT and abilities to use it to other languages then C/C++ :)

a-ha, I thouht if I am on CC line of mail list then the sender should remain `llvm-dev' and not `llvmdev-admin'. Well, why not. OK, then just skip it :)
