Hi Nick, > However, in the insctutions on building it only says to do a make. The configure is step #3. The build is step #4. Before you can do a make, you need to do the configure. And, as per the instructions, do not make your objdir anywhere within the GCC source code directory. (You can make it a peer to the source code, so it's "../objdir" relative to the GCC source.) You'd configure it by: ../gcc-4.3.0/configure Or use a full path: /home/nickengland/gcc-4.3.0/configure HTH, --Eljay
