Hi Eljay, Thanks for responding so quickly. I have been stuck since morning with this :-(... I have followed the steps as mentioned in the gcc install "http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html" I did I have srcdir as /home/manas/tina/gcc-3.2 then I did mkdir objdir % cd objdir % ../configure --enable-languages='all,ada,c,c++,f95,f77,java,objc,obj-c++,treelang' --prefix=/home/manas/tina/temp --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --with-local-prefix=/home/manas/tina/temp/include --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-__cxa_atexit --disable-libada is this correct? Else how I should do. I am sorry as I am very new to linux and so donot understand it well.
