This is way too vague a report. Post the *exact* configure and make commands that you used and the *exact* error message. Copy and paste, do not summarize! By default gcc will try to build a multilib configuration, which means both 32 and 64 bit versions of the target libraries. This will fail if you do not have both 32 and 64 bit libc and libc-dev packages installed. I think some have also mentioned that the library directory scheme used by debian/ubuntu (where /usr/lib is actually lib64 and /usr/lib32 is the 32 bit location -- the opposite of pretty much the entire rest of the planet) causes problems with gcc's multilib configuration. On those distros gcc is patched to match this layout, but if you're building stock FSF gcc it will fail. The workaround is to --disable-multilib, and then if you want a 64 bit compiler use --target=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, and --target=i686-pc-linux-gnu for a 32 bit target. Or stick to the debian-patched gcc. Brian
