             Bug #: 52740
           Summary: Unable to make gcc-4.x.x after successful
                    configuration
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: major
          Priority: P3
         Component: libstdc++
        AssignedTo: unassigned@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: mohammadsohaibajmal@gmail.com


In order to update libstd++ file to 3.4.9 version,I downloaded gcc-4.4.0. I
also downloaded gmp and mpfr version 5.0.4 and 3.1.4 respectively. I installed
them successfully,although when I configured mpfr, it gave warning like 'gmp.h
and libgmp seems to have different versions..'. However continued with its
installation and run configurations script of gcc with target set to
/usr/local. Configuration was successful and created Makefile also.

Afterwords when I run make  it gave following error at end
make [2]: Leaving directory '/root/fixincludes'
make [1]: *** [all-fixincludes] Error 2
make [1]: Leaving directory '/root'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Considering  versions of mpfr and gmp might not be compatible, I installed
2.4.0 version of mpfr, it did not give me any warning of different versions,
but still I got the above error while making gcc?

You have missed out all the necessary information for anyone to help you such
as how you ran configure, and what the actual error is - all you've shown is
the end of 'make' exiting after an error.

Please read http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC and ensure you are not making
the common mistakes listed there.

The warning from mpfr sounds as though you now have two versions of gmp
installed, which is probably not good.

What do you mean by 3.4.9 version?
GCC 4.4.0 provides libstdc++.so with a symbol version of GLIBCXX_3.4.11

Is there a reason to use GCC 4.4.0 and not 4.4.7, which is the last release
from the 4.4 series and contains many bugfixes relative to 4.4.0?

I have GLIBCXX_2.5 installed on my computer and I need version 3.4.9 or higher.
I needed to install version 4 or higher for gcc so I randomly chose to install
gcc-4.4.0. I can try 4.4.7 also

However, all steps I performed and errors I encounetred are imentioned below
Although I am not sure the error messages I got are sufficiently helpful or
not.

After downloading GCC and placing it in a directory I ran its configuration
script

/Gcc/gcc-4.4.0/configure --target=/usr/local/gcc-4.4.0/

It gave me error saying mpfr and gmp needs to be installed. I downloaded gmp
version  5.0.4 and mpfr version 3.1.0. For installing gmp I simply ran
following commands

./configure
make 
make install

Everything executed pretty smoothly. Afterwards for installing mpfr I followed
its instruction and first applied patch inside mpfr folder,as directed in
INSTALL file

curl http://www.mpfr.org/mpfr-3.1.0/allpatches | patch -N -Z -p1

patch was applied successfully

Afterwords I executed 

./configure

This gave me following WARNING at the end of execution

configure: WARNING: ==========================================================
configure: WARNING: 'gmp.h' and 'libgmp' seem to have different versions or
configure: WARNING: we cannot run a program linked with GMP (if you cannot
configure: WARNING: see the version numbers above). A cause may be different
configure: WARNING: GMP versions with different ABI's or the use of --with-gmp
configure: WARNING: or --with-gmp-include with a system include directory
configure: WARNING: (such as /usr/include or /usr/local/include).
configure: WARNING: However since we can't use 'libtool' inside the configure,
configure: WARNING: we can't be sure. See 'config.log' for details.
configure: WARNING: ==========================================================

At the end it said that creating Makefile etc. Afterwards I ran 

make 
make check
make install

No error appeared in this whole procedure except for above mentioned warning.

Afterwards I again ran configure script of gcc as mentioned above, which
finished succefully saying "creating Makefile"

/Gcc/gcc-4.4.0/configure --target=/usr/local/gcc-4.4.0/

But when I ran make it gave me following error as in my first post 

make [2]: Leaving directory '/root/fixincludes'
make [1]: *** [all-fixincludes] Error 2
make [1]: Leaving directory '/root'
make: *** [all] Error 2

This is all the erro rit showed me. I have no Idea what to do about it. If
there is a better and stable version which can give me GLIBC3.4.9 I'll use
that, and also can you please refer to me appropriate guide for installing GCC
because the instructions available on this website has so many configurations
that I do not know which one will be appropriate.
Another Important point to note is after even the installation of mentioned
versions of gmp and mpfr when I do rpm -qa|grep gmp and rpm -qa|grep mpfr the
output I get is older version for gmp installed by distro and no output for
mpfr? 

So I have not been able to install them properly despite no error I received,
or any other configuration is requried. I followed their INSTALL guides in
their folders.

Thank you very much for assistance that you can provide in this regard.

"Randomly" picking a .0 release is a terrible idea.  It is the first release
from a new series so inevitably has bugs which will be fixed in later versions,
so if you're going to choose a 4.4 release, pick the latest one not the most
buggy one of the whole series.

Don't use mpfr 3.1.0, it's known not to work, see PR 50461 for details.

As it says at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html "Newer versions may
work in some cases, but it's safer to use the exact versions documented."

This is probably because you already had GMP isntalled somewhere, so installing
it again gives you two incompatible versions.

No it isn't, it will have printed many, MANY lines of output, and the error is
not shown in the last four lines you've copied.

> I have no Idea what to do about it.

I've already given you the link:
"Please read http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC and ensure you are not
making
the common mistakes listed there."

That page describes a foolproof way to build GCC, with the first suggestion
being the simplest: install gmp-devel and mpfr-devel RPMs from your
distribution.

I already referred you to the simpler instruction on the wiki.

Please read it and you'll save us both time and effort.

Of course, because you didn't install RPMs, you installed from source, so
obviously the rpm tool doesn't know about the other versions.

PLEASE READ http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC !

Basically, I suggest you delete the versions of gmp and mpfr you installed
manually and then use your distro's package management tool to install
gmp-devel and mpfr-devel RPMs.
