Apologies to everyone for being so inclomplete :).  Here is the exact
error message:


cc: installation problems, cannot exec 'cc1': not a directory



After reading Allen's message on the idea that maybe I had not installed
comp, I reinstalled it just to make sure, and tried the entire thing
again.  AfterStep has to be installed as root, so I of course logged in as
root and cd'd to the directory that the AfterStep install is located
(/root/incoming/AfterStep-1.-pre2)

once there, I executed the Installme file
(/root/incoming/AfterStep-1.0pre2/Installme)

and it goes through and acts like it is installing (I know I should have
wrote this part down as well.......crap) and then about halfway through I
get the error noted above.
