Could you advise?
Someone will have to look at config.log and try to figure out how to
make your previous gcc work. Why not you?
Perhaps, I lack the superior intellect required to interpret the log,
I've looked at it and am none the wiser. It is very short and I'll post
it here.
NOTE: Not intended for Tim Prince
Perhaps there is decent kind 'soul' out there willing to take a look and
see if a solution is easily recognizable
log file =>
This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.
configure:630: checking host system type
configure:651: checking target system type
configure:669: checking build system type
configure:724: checking for a BSD compatible install
configure:777: checking whether ln works
configure:801: checking whether ln -s works
configure:1866: checking for gcc
configure:1979: checking whether the C compiler (gcc ) works
configure:1995: gcc -o conftest conftest.c 1>&5
gcc: installation problem, cannot exec `as': No such file or directory
configure: failed program was:
#line 1990 "configure"
#include "confdefs.h"
main(){return(0);}
<= end log file
________________________________
BTW: line 1990 =>
#include "confdefs.h"
...
There is a 'confdefs.h' in the source directory, but empty
There is none in the /usr/include folder but found one in another
folder, don't know if it was modified, the contents were :
#define OS_TYPE "irix6.5"
#define USE_OPIE 1
#define USE_DIGEST 1
#define DEBUG 1
I added it to the source directory
But th problem persist, which seems to indicate that was not the problem

Could you advise?
BTW: I would like to use the Fortran f77 or f95 compiler when installed,
are there any special nuances to observe?
gcc-4.2 includes gfortran; should do the job for you.
Thanks, when I get the installation completed I'll probably get the
gfortran operative
Thanks again
