I downloaded the complete gcc-4.1.0 tar ball from a mirror site, and configured it at my local user directory with .../gcc-4.1.0/configure --prefix=/home/jiangq/gcc4 --disable-bootstrap The configure went through OK, but 'make' generated the following errors: WARNING: `makeinfo' is missing on your system. You should only need it if you modified a `.texi' or `.texinfo' file, or any other file indirectly affecting the aspect of the manual. The spurious call might also be the consequence of using a buggy `make' (AIX, DU, IRIX). You might want to install the `Texinfo' package or the `GNU make' package. Grab either from any GNU archive site. make[3]: *** [fastjar.info] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/jiangq/gcc/fastjar' make[2]: *** [all] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/jiangq/gcc/fastjar' make[1]: *** [all-fastjar] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jiangq/gcc' make: *** [all] Error 2 What do you think is the problem with the fastjar? ____________________________________________________ You show nothing to indicate a problem with fastjar. What do gcc-4.1 or fastjar have in common with your goal of using g77? If you use a somewhat newer version of gcc, gfortran should be an improvement over g77. You would need a much older version to have g77 included. Tim Prince
