Any help would be great. I apologize if I missed some important bit of documentation. Essentially, I cannot find my newly compiled binaries gcc, g++, etc. I wanted a side-by-side install of 4.7 alongside the pre-existing gcc 4.6.1, so unpacked the tarball to /usr/local/bin/gcc-4.7.0. I then created directories as directed, with objdir=/usr/local/gcc2install and dirname=/usr/local/gcc2. From /usr/local/gcc2install, I ran sudo /usr/local/bin/gcc-4.7.0/cofigure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc2 --program-suffix=47 Then sudo make. It yielded no critical errors that I could notice but the process did not write any files to /usr/local/gcc2. I then ran locate gcc47 (locate gcc yields many references to the pre-existing install), which yielded nothing. I then ran make -k check &> ~/testgcc which took around a half an hour and said that everything is configured fairly well. Any ideas on where to find the binaries? Thanks, floobit
