I'm trying to install gcc trough tarball I have my srcdir in /developer/srcdir/gcc1.4.2 and run the followng command : /developer/srcdir$ /developer/srcdir/gcc-4.1.2/configure --prefix=/developer/gcc-4.1.2 --enable-shared --enable-languages=c && make bootstrap-lean && make install && echo /developer/gcc-4.1.2/lib > /etc/ld.so.conf.d/gcc412-i386.conf && ldconfig && cd /usr/bin && ln -s /developer/gcc-4.1.2/bin/gcc gcc412 this is the trace that it generates : creating 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 checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no configure: error: no acceptable cc found in $PATH how should I proceed on this ? ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a better Heartthrob.
