To set the environment variable CC to a working compiler in a bourne compatible shell you can do: CC="/path/to/your/c-compiler" export CC You need to have a working C compiler installed on your system in order to compile GCC. For instance you can use GCC. What kind of distribution are you using? Redhat, SuSE? Why don't you install a prepackaged binary version for your distribution? Do you really need to compile GCC yourself? HTH -- Claudio Bley ASCII ribbon campaign (") Debian GNU/Linux user - against HTML email X http://www.cs.uni-magdeburg.de/~bley/ & vCards / \
