Hi again, >From previous email(with Tim's answer in BOLD) and my latest question right after that with (Lee:) :- Thanks for the prompt reply. I am aware that its my mistakes in the "\". I managed to get the BIN folder installed on the root however, when i try to "make install" on the gccobj and gcc4.2.0 folder it returns me minor error such as:- make[1]: Entering directory `/mount/autofs/home_pgrad/leehj/gcc-4.2.0' /bin/sh ./mkinstalldirs /usr/local /usr/local /bin/sh: host-i386-pc-solaris2.9/fixincludes: does not exist make[1]: *** [install-fixincludes] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/mount/autofs/home_pgrad/leehj/gcc-4.2.0' make: *** [install] Error 2 Does it really matter? How do I proceed on from here to compile the gcc code? What do we needto do with the BIN folder and the GCCOBJ folder? Are we suppose to put the source file(.C file) in the GCCOBJ folder? or the main folder? Tim Prince wrote: > > Hua Jie Lee wrote: > >> I created an object directory before configure them.

I'm sorry, I neglected to fix your cross-posting the first time, which no doubt earned both of us some enemies. Do you have write privilege on all the directories your build is trying to create? Lee: It should have write privilege as well for me. Anyway, how could I check it up for the privilege? ll on gcc-4.2.0? And another matter, i have removed the overall files as I tried to compile using GCOV. However, upon a.out there is still no response and the file is empty. Any good suggestion when I tried reinstall again? Where exactly should be the executables (.obj) stored in? Is it the folder on the PREFIX I should set or is it compiled together in the same folder in gcc-4.2.0? Please advise.
