Hello, I am working with Scientific Linux (a rebiuld of RHEL) 6.4, which comes with gcc 4.4.7. I want to install the last version (4.8.2). I was able to install the latest versions of MPFR, MPC and GMP. I downloaded the full gcc-4.8.2 package, uncompressed, etc. I can configure: "../gcc-4.8.2/configure --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc --prefix=/opt/gcc-4.8.2" this AFAIK works OK: checking build system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu checking host system type... x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
