For the third time, USE THE INSTRUCTIONS INCLUDED IN THE 4.7.1 RELEASE SOURCES The instructions at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/ refer to the SVN trunk, which was recently changed to use CLooG-ISL, without PPL. Those instructions don't even mention PPL. If you want to build 4.7.1 use the instructions for 4.7.1, not the instructions for trunk.

Hmm, or you could use the version recommended in the 4.7.1 installation docs. > But seriously guys, I think that it should be nice to plan for the future. > New versions of libraries are sometimes faster and sometimes provide bug > fixes. Just allow the possibility of choosing the libraries to the builders. As documented: "While any sufficiently new version of required tools usually work, library requirements are generally stricter. Newer versions may work in some cases, but it's safer to use the exact versions documented. We appreciate bug reports about problems with newer versions, though." Since you're failing repeatedly to get it working, maybe you should just stick to the exact versions documented and leave it to others to test the newer versions. Follow the instructions and it will work. GCC trunk no longer uses PPL at all, that dependency has been replaced by ISL, but for GCC 4.7.1 just try following the instructions. The right ones. You're not saying anything new or useful to anyone, you're just failing to follow instructions and complaining about a known situation which is described in the docs, so I'm done with this thread. Good luck.
