Can't exec 'cc1plus' error of MinGW on Vista

The possible reason could be that MinGW can't modify PATH env due to tight security on Vista. cc1plus is located under $MinGW_installdir\libexec\gcc\mingw32\$(gcc_version). Adding this location to $PATH solves the problem.

Google Gears' bug on firefox


After installing Google Gears in my Google Reader on FF for one or two days, the font size in Reader changed. It was either too big or too small. This made me very uncomfortable when reading it. I couldn't change it back to which it used to be.

Now even better, the Reader in FF became blank from yesterday, except for the logo on the top left and my Google ID and other menus on the top right. No matter how many times I refreshed, it's still blank. The menu links on top right don't work either. I couldn't even sign out from Reader. I tried Reader on IE later, it was good. I've been using FF since it's 1.0 was leased, and I really don't want to switch back to IE.


However, the other FFs installed on my home computer and a Linux box still work well. These FFs are the same version, 2.0.0.4. The only difference is that I didn't install Gears on those 2 FFs.

Now to clean up the mess. Fire up FF. Click Tools --> Add-ons and find Google Gears. What? They don't allow uninstall? This is supposed to be M$'s style, not Google's. What about "Don't be evil" motto? Well, though no uninstall, it can be disabled. Anyway, this is still better than M$.

Now Reader in FF is back to normal. Happy ending.
