In the manual I did not find a hint to the script. I did the steps manually as described in gcc-4.7.1/INSTALL/prerequisites.html >>> GNU Multiple Precision Library (GMP) version 4.3.2 (or later) Necessary to build GCC. If a GMP source distribution is found in a subdirectory of your GCC sources named gmp, it will be built together with GCC <<< I did that with all prerequisites BUT with the actual versions of each of them. mpfr-3.1.1 instead of mpfr-2.4.2 mpc-1.0 instead of mpc-0.8.1 gmp-5.0.5 instead of gmp-4.3.2 ppl-1.0 ?? Maybe the actual library versions could not handled correct by gcc Makefile? The installation with the ./contrib/dowload_prerequisites script works. Regards Klaus
