Hi Andrew, Thank you so much for your prompt reply. I have created a directory under /picowork/ithelp/gcc-3.2.3 1) mkdir /picowork10/ithelp/gcc-3.2.3 2) cd /backup/ithelp/gcc-3.2.3 3) ./configure --prefix=/picowork10/ithelp/gcc-3.2.3/ 4) make bootstrap and i got the same error! checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no checking for gcc...
