I am attempting to install gcc-4.2.2 on an SGI Octane running IRIX 6.5.26
I untar'd the gcc-4.2.2.tar file in the target directory /usr/local/gcc4x
I went through the traditional 'configure' step as a prelude to the
'make install' step
That produced the following =>
configure
creating cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... mips-sgi-irix6.5
checking target system type... mips-sgi-irix6.5
checking build system type... mips-sgi-irix6.5
checking for a BSD compatible install... ./install-sh -c
checking whether ln works... yes
checking whether ln -s works... yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works... no
configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler
cannot create executables.
I do have other prior version of gcc installed =>

Could you advise?
BTW: I would like to use the Fortran f77 or f95 compiler when installed,
are there any special nuances to observe?
Thanks!
