I am not sure if I should report this as a bug, or not. Thought
first to ask here.
I am trying to build gcc 4.6 which I downloaded today. I followed
all instructions, did the following:
1. build/install m4-latest
2. build/install gmp-5.0.01
3. build/install mpfr-3.0.0
4. build/install mpc-0.9
5. and now for gcc 4.6:
./configure
make
This after about 2 hrs compiling, I get this error:
c-4.6.0/host-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc/xgcc -B/media/sf_nabbasi/data/Fortran_related/gcc_4_6/gcc-4.6.0/host-i686-pc-linux-gnu/gcc/ -B/usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib/ -isystem /usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/include -isystem /usr/local/i686-pc-linux-gnu/sys-include

--------------------------------
I put the config.log file in this directory is someone wants to look at it
http://12000.org/tmp/march_27_2011/
ps. not sure if this is important or not, I am running linux on a VM machine. Installed
Linux mint on it.
thank you,
