Thanks! I got this error while configuring: "configure: error: Building GCC requires GMP 4.1+ and MPFR 2.3.2+. Try the --with-gmp and/or --with-mpfr options to specify their locations." How to know if there are GMP 4.1+ and MPFR 2.3.2+ installed on the workstation and where they are? Thanks and regards!
