If this is a utterly braindead Petur> question i apologies for waisting your time. The "as" binary that you downloaded is an ia64 binary. You don't want that because running "as" under the simulator would be too slow. Someone would have to build a cross-version of "as" for NUE. It should be just a matter of (a) downloading the latest binutils snapshot onto an x86 machine, (b) configure it for target ia64-linux, (c) build it, (d) copy resulting as-new into NUE (it's best to link as-new statically, to avoid shared-library dependency issues). If you (or someone else) does that, I certainly would be happy to host the x86-binary of the fixed ia64 assembler on ftp.hpl.hp.com. --david
