Any help would be > appreciated. The GCC project doesn't provide binaries to install, but others provide them for various operating systems. If your OS is listed at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/binaries.html then follow the relevant link. If you're using GNU/Linux you should be able to install the compiler via your system's package manager. To get the very latest version you might need to compile it yourself, by downloading the sources from the nearest mirror site (http://gcc.gnu.org/mirrors.html) and then following the instructions at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/ To make it simpler to download and build I wrote a makefile that does everything necessary: http://advogato.org/person/redi/diary/229.html
