Hello, all I've just tried to build gdb with the same results that I got when trying to build gcc: "make" builds it fine, but "make install" can't find install.sh, even though it is there. Solved it by calling configure with an absolute path, e.g. $ /home/ljvr/utils/gcc-3.2.3/configure --prefix=blahblahblah --enable-whatever instead of $ ../gcc-3.2.3/configure --prefix=blahblahblah --enable-whatever Then it works fine, regardless of the localtion of builddir, srcdir or installdir. I don't know if my Solaris platform has anything to do with it, but if anyone else had the same problem, now you know how to prevent it.

It could be worthy of a PR then... 1. Did you check the bug db to see if its reported/fixed in latest releases? 2. What version you tried? 3. What are the steps? 4. What error you got? 5.
