Dear All, I have been struggling with the installtion of gfortran, Now I am trying to follow the instructions on the link http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC tar xzf gcc-4.6.2.tar.gz cd gcc-4.6.2 ./contrib/download_prerequisites cd .. mkdir objdir cd objdir $PWD/../gcc-4.6.2/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc-4.6.2 make make install But I am not able to start configure. It shows as follows: [root@pmd03 gcc-4.7.0]# cd .. [root@pmd03 ~]# mkdir objdir [root@pmd03 ~]# cd objdir/ [root@pmd03 objdir]# $PWD/ ../gcc-4.7.0/configure -bash: /root/objdir/: is a directory a and if I give [root@pmd03 objdir]# ../gcc-4.7.0/configure --prefix=/usr/local/ checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking target system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking whether ln works... yes checking whether ln -s works... yes checking for a sed that does not truncate output... /bin/sed checking for gawk... gawk configure: error: building out of tree but ../gcc-4.7.0 contains host-x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. Use a pristine source tree when building in a separate tree [root@pmd03 objdir]# Please Help! Ahsan
