Have you some kind of binutils installed? you can't build a program without e.g. linker. Then, I'd recommend using an older version (e.g. gcc-4.2.4) for the first time; gcc-4.3.3 depends on MPFR, and you have to have a compiler to build that library. And probably your system actually has some sort of package manager, and it might be easier to install the compiler with it. Regards, Ineiev
