Hello Am trying to compile GCC 4.5.1 but had no success... These are the steps I followed: 1. Install GMP, MPFR and MPC 2. Uncompress gcc-4.5.1.tar.gz, gcc-core-4.5.1.tar.gz, gcc-g++-4.5.1.tar.gz, gcc-objc-4.5.1.tar.gz at /tmp/ 3. mkdir /tmp/gcc-4.5.1/objdir; cd /tmp/gcc-4.5.1/objdir 4. ../configure --prefix=/usr/local Then it starts the configuration and after a while it throws: ... checking where to find the target windmc... host tool checking whether to enable maintainer-specific portions of Makefiles... no checking whether -fkeep-inline-functions is supported... yes configure: creating ./config.status config.status: creating Makefile 5.

I have currently a RPM version installed at / and am compiling latest version at /usr/local, then I want to remove the RPM and leave the current version only... Any idea of what is going on and how can I fix it to compile? These are the packages already installed: cpp-4.1.2-12.i386.rpm gcc-c++-4.1.2-12.i386.rpm libstdc++-4.1.2-12.i386.rpm gcc-4.1.2-12.i386.rpm libgomp-4.1.2-12.i386.rpm libstdc++-devel-4.1.2-12.i386.rpm libgcc was already installed on my Fedora 7 Thanks for any help
