I have attempted for days now to locate help documents, posts, etc. that would help me configure, build, install, etc this version of gcc. I'm new to the Linux environment and therefore my vocab- ulary of Linux terms is limited, but here goes. I have downloaded the entire GCC 3.3.2 source files to directory /usr/gcc/gcc-3.3.2/(and whatever file tree it came with) My system specifications are: Dell T450 450mhz Pentium III processor 30Gb hdd to Linux Mandrake Linux 9.2 (fivestar) Discovery Edition I have no idea what if any gcc compiler there is or may be, the same goes for cygwn (spelling?) this is the message I receive from the command '/usr/gcc/gcc-3.3.2/configure' [root@localhost MyGCC]# /usr/gcc/gcc-3.3.2/configure Configuring for a i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld host. Created "Makefile" in /usr/gcc/MyGCC using "mt-frag" /usr/gcc/gcc-3.3.2/configure: line 8: cc: command not found *** The command 'cc -o conftest -g conftest.c' failed. *** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.
