Hi Eljay Thanks a ton. That was the issue looks like. I was configuring in source directory and compiling. I also updated my libtool. This worked fine. Thanks much.

Make a peer directory as your build directory. mkdir /cots/gnu/build-4.3.2 cd /cots/gnu/build-4.3.2 /cots/gnu/gcc-4.3.2/configure ...yada yada yada... HTH, --Eljay
