Hi All I am currently in the process of compilig gcc-4.23 in order to install the same. After a few compiles, I get the following error and the compile aborts. /cots/gnu/gcc-4.2.3/host-sparc-sun-solaris2.10/gcc/xgcc -B/cots/gnu/gcc-4.2.3/host-sparc-sun-solaris2.10/gcc/ -B/usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/bin/ -B/usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/lib/ -isystem /usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/include -isystem /usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/sys-include -c -o crt1.o -x assembler-with-cpp ../.././gcc/config/sparc/sol2-c1.asm xgcc: error trying to exec '/usr/local/sparc-sun-solaris2.10/bin': execv: Permission denied make[3]: *** [crt1.o] Error 1 make[3]: Leaving directory `/cots/gnu/gcc-4.2.3/host-sparc-sun-solaris2.10/gcc' make[2]: *** [all-stage2-gcc] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/cots/gnu/gcc-4.2.3' make[1]: *** [stage2-bubble] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/cots/gnu/gcc-4.2.3' make: *** [bootstrap] Error 2 Any ideas or pointers?
