Hi, I am a very inexperienced Linux user and am having a hell of a time trying to understand the installation instructions for GCC. Apparently I am missing something, becasue I cannot for the life of me understand the "configuration" instructions that were included in the download. All I want to do is install GCC in my machine so that when I make or make install another program, I have a valid C compiler on my machine. I am not a power user and just need it to be on the machine. Below is the message I get when trying to install the package. Can anyone help me with this one? Thanks in advance.... James [jef@localhost gcc-4.0.1]$ ./configure loading cache ./config.cache checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether ln works... yes checking whether ln -s works... yes configure: error: Building in the source directory is not supported in this release. See http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html for more details. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
