I was trying to install the latest GCC 4.8.1 but somehow the build fails.
Here are the steps I followed:
In the directory `/mnt/ajay/` I checked out the code from svn using the
command:
svn checkout svn://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk gcc4.8/
This gets the entire code in the directory `/mnt/ajay/gcc4.8`
Then I simply followed the configuration steps given here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC
(Pasting the instructions from the site)
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
Since I had the code in a directory I did not have to tar and simply
replaced the above instruction from gcc-4.6.2 to gcc-4.8.1
The build fails when I `make`. It exits with the errors after couple of
hours:
make all-am
make[5]: Entering directory

I am not into lot of installation in Linux, do let me know if I am doing
anything wrong and if any further information is required. I am doing
exactly the same as above.
I am using CentOS release 5.4 (Final)
Thanks
Ajay
