Brian, I had built the libraries but not run a make install because I didn't have root access to the machine. The gcc configure was looking for the 'include' and 'lib' subdirectories for gmp and mpfr. I created a softlink within the gmp and mpfr libs but gcc configure didn't like it. /import/dtg-data20/jj155244/tools/mpfr-2.3.1/include -> ../ Its working now that I ran a make install. thanks, Jerin On Wed, Aug 27, 2008 at 1:17 AM, Brian Dessent <brian@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > Jerin Joy wrote: > > > configure: error: Building GCC requires GMP 4.1+ and MPFR 2.3.0+. > > Try the --with-gmp and/or --with-mpfr options to specify their locations. > > Those options take the location where you installed the libraries, i.e. > the --prefix that you gave when configuring them. > > > I don't know why it doesn't pick up the correct files from the path. > > The paths below look like the plain source dirs of an unpacked tarball. > These options point to a built and installed copy of the libraries, not > a bare source dir. > > > [jj155244@ gcc-4.3.0]$ ls -l /import/dtg-data20/jj155244/tools/mpfr-2.3.1 |less > > total 7587 > > -rw-r----- 1 jj155244 wheel 755 Dec 31 2007 AUTHORS > > -rw-r----- 1 jj155244 wheel 2915 Dec 31 2007 BUGS > > -rw-r----- 1 jj155244 wheel 18013 Dec 31 2007 COPYING > > -rw-r----- 1 jj155244 wheel 26440 Dec 31 2007 COPYING.LIB > > > > [jj155244@ gcc-4.3.0]$ ls -l /import/dtg-data20/jj155244/tools/gmp-4.2.3 > > total 4198 > > -rw-r----- 1 jj155244 wheel 843 Mar 22 2006 AUTHORS > > -rw-r----- 1 jj155244 wheel 35147 Aug 30 2007 COPYING > > -rw-r----- 1 jj155244 wheel 7639 Aug 30 2007 COPYING.LIB > > -rw-r----- 1 jj155244 wheel 709734 Aug 2 13:54 ChangeLog > > It is also possible to have gcc bootstrap these libraries with itself, > in the usual manner of a combined tree. > > Brian
