[maemo-developers] [maemo-developers] gcc on 770

[From: A Mukherjee]

Hi Ralph,

Thank you for your response.

The binaries that I downloaded from the the maemo site had the ".deb"
extension so I assumed they could be installed by the application installer.

How would I go about installing them by hand as root?

Thank you.
