torcs installation problems
 

Hi.
I am trying to install torcs on a Gentoo Linux system. when compiling with emerge torcs, after a while i get

c++ -I/var/tmp/portage/torcs-1.2.2/work/torcs-1.2.2/export/include -O3 -march=p
entium4 -pipe -mcpu=pentium4 -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -O3 -mieee-fp -Wall -Wstr

make: *** [restart] Error 2

So I tried downloading the source and compiling it, and same problem.

Is it a problem with torcs or my gcc? Any ideas on how to install this game?
Thanks

Most likely both torcs and gcc.
torcs was probably written with an earlier version of gcc in mind, lately they've been pushing a lot more enforced compliance with the standard.

The best way to remedy this is to post to the torcs mailing list, they've probably fixed it by now.
