Dear SIr, I want to install gcc 4.3.3 on my linux for myself only, but I don't have root permission. I followed the install guide, but the problem seemed weird. my os is redhat enterprise for smp, the kernel version is 2.4.21 machine type is AMD Operon, x86_64 -------------------- before installing gcc, I had my own gmp 4.2.1 and mpfr 2.3.0 installed at location $HOME/lib/gmp and $HOME/lib/mpfr. Besides, I had a system gmp library located in /usr/lib, and the gcc in /usr/bin is gcc 3.2.3 then I checked out gcc_4_3_3_release from the gnu svn server after the source files extracted, I did following steps: gcc> mkdir tmp gcc> cd tmp gcc> ../configure --prefix=$HOME/work/ --with-gmp=$HOME/lib/gmp --with-mpfr=$HOME/lib/mpfr --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran gcc> make gcc> make install I finished the make step successfully, but I didn't perform check step since I don't have autogen on my system. That's not the critical problem I think,( or perhaps it is actually, who knows). Then I edited the .cshrc under $HOME to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH, I set it to be $HOME/work/lib, and verified. The problem troubled me most was: cc1 kept reporting errors --- error while loading shared libraries: libmpfr.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory This happened once during make stage, cc1 in source directory refused to work, reporting exactly the same problem above. I tried to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to be $HOME/lib/mpfr/lib and it worked and compiled! However, this trick failed to make the installed gcc work. I checked the library dependency of cc1 with ldd, and found libmpfr.so.1 points to null, and libgmp points to the system gmp library! I don't know what's wrong since I did throw the flag --with-gmp and --with-mpfr. -------------------- plz help me, I would attach any install log if u would like to see. thanks a bunch ! yours, Jerry
