Hi pepi, You pulled down the source code. To build the source code, you need to have a compiler installed and the support tools it requires (such as make and gas and such). Do you have a compiler installed? Most Linux distributions use GCC. Many of them have it pre-installed, but not all. >From whomever makes your distribution, you'll need to pull down their pre-built package of GCC. Then you are ready to build GCC. Here are instructions: http://gcc.gnu.org/install/build.html If you merely want to have GCC installed, and not build it yourself, then install the pre-built GCC package from your distribution supplier. HTH, --Eljay
