Dear Tim, dear gcc-help team, Tim Prince wrote in reply to my mail: > __________________________ >> >> Then, i downloaded the sources, and did ./configure and make.

It required a google search to find the installation instructions, pointing me to http://gcc.gnu.org/install/ I really think a link to that page should be part of either the README file on top of the source directory, or of the INSTALL/README file! Or you might provide a plain text version of the installation instructions in the sources --- probably in one of these README files. Anyway. Assume that it really was a mistake to do "./configure" and "make" in the source directory. I removed the old source (= old object) directory after saying "make distclean", unpacked the sources again, created a _different_ object directory (not a subdirectory of the sources), did configure there, and said "make". This is how i understood the installation instructions. But still, the building did not finish successfully. As before, it complains that it can't find stubs-32.h The last words are like that: In file included from /usr/include/features.h:346, from /usr/include/stdio.h:28, from /usr/local/gcc-4.2.1/gcc/tsystem.h:90, from /usr/local/gcc-4.2.1/gcc/crtstuff.c:68: /usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:7:27: error: gnu/stubs-32.h: Datei oder Verzeichnis nicht gefunden make[5]: *** [32/crtbegin.o] Fehler 1 make[5]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/gccbuild/gcc' make[4]: *** [extra32] Fehler 2 make[4]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/gccbuild/gcc' make[3]: *** [stmp-multilib] Fehler 2 make[3]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/gccbuild/gcc' make[2]: *** [all-stage1-gcc] Fehler 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/gccbuild' make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Fehler 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/local/gccbuild' make: *** [all] Fehler 2 Yours Simon
