Sorry, looks like I am out of my depth.
I just thought it was a temp file placed in the /tmp directory for use by
the compiler/linker.
From what Chris said, I thought If the compiler/linker looked for it in
"/tmp\cc017659.base" it would actually be looking for "/tmpcc017659.base"
which does not exist. Obviously I must be wrong?
