I run the above three commands that you mentioned. Then I run make the directory 'build'. But I still get the following error message (I don't find any other instances of the words "Error" and "error" in the output). Do you know what the problems are? make[3]: Leaving directory `/home/pengy/download/linux/gcc-4.3.4-build/gcc' make[2]: *** [all-stage1-gcc] Error 2 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/pengy/download/linux/gcc-4.3.4-build' make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/pengy/download/linux/gcc-4.3.4-build' make: *** [all] Error 2
