RE: Installation Issue

Hi, 

After building the latest GCC from source with no errors what
disappointment to find that "make install" keeps failing!

I think someone forgot to update the scripts and makefiles somewhere
between versions.  Yes, the manual says do not use builddir = sourcedir
etc. etc. but "make install" failed for me too.

Theoretically you could tell the scripts where to find install.sh on the
command line by saying "make INSTALL=/full/path/to/install.sh install"

In the end I had to do a search & replace through configure and all
makefiles, and replace all the relative references to install.sh with
the absolute path.

Try it -- it might help you too.

This problem seems to be quite common because I searched for it and
there was a lot of forum posts asking for how to solve it but I couldn't
find a solution.

I'm running SuSE 9.1 and I downloaded the latest source code release for
g++ gcc. My problem is when I try to run ./configure in the directory
libstdc++-v3, it returns the following error:

configure: error: cannot find install-sh or install.sh in ./../..

Thanks, John
