Thanks a lot Ian. Setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH worked. I was thrown off because it was able to find gmp, mpc, and mpfr, and I had followed the same steps for isl as well. This step is mentioned on the wiki, but it maybe useful to add this with the instructions that are in gcc-4.8.2/INSTALL/index.html. I also needed to get install libc6-dev-i386. This was very easy, but wasn't mentioned anywhere in the requrements (I think: or maybe I misssed it). It seems to be working. Thanks again.

Though I thought that was fixed.

Linking with -lisl is causing you to link against libisl.so.10, but that shared library is not found at runtime. You need to set your LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable or add the directory to /etc/ld.so.conf. Ian
