Something must've blown up earlier in the installation script because
/usr/local/bin/patch is part of the mover file containing all the binaries.
Can you tell me whether there were other warning/error messages?

The warnings are OK and expected based on the original code.

Actually, gas (as) makes up part of the gcc package and is what produces
a SOM from the output of gcc. gcc actually produces PA-RISC assembly
which must be assembled.

This further indicates that the install from the mover file failed
because as is part of the distribution. Again, were there other
installation errors/warnings?

Feel free to contact me directly at [log in to unmask] if you have further
questions.
