Hi Joe, It appears that the GCC 4.4.2 source is located here: /de/gcc/gcc-4.4.2 And I take it that you are also trying to ./configure and make in that self-same directory. As per the GCC instructions <http://gcc.gnu.org/install/>, running ./configure in the source directory, or any subdirectory thereof, is not supported. I've never had success trying to do that. You should make a build directory, e.g.: mkdir /de/gcc/gcc-4.4.2-build cd /de/gcc/gcc-4.4.2-build /de/gcc/gcc-4.4.2/configure make That will keep the source and the build separated. Note: since you have run configure within the source code directory, the source code is tainted. You will want to rm -rf /de/gcc/gcc-4.4.2 and untar the source fresh. HTH, --Eljay
