I have a contact that I know to be running Strawberry Perl (
http://vanillaperl.com/ ) on Vista 64, and I have the impression that he was
using MinGW's gcc without trouble. I've sent off a note asking that he
confirm that. In the meantime I've (yet again) done a fresh install of Vista
64 (incorporating a format of the hard drive to wipe out everything that was
there) - but I still get:

C:\C>gcc -o try.exe try.c
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `cc1': No such file or directory

Looking forward to getting hold of the new driver.

Cheers,
Rob
