This should do the trick:

cd /home/james/gccmake
/home/james/gcc-2.95.2/configure --enable-shared --enable-languages=c++,f77
make bootstrap-lean
make install

This will install c (although not explicitly specified), c++ and fortran.

If you insist on prefix, then use --prefix=/usr but
if i remember correctly, that's the default and the installation
instructions say, you should *not* explicitly use --prefix=/usr.

Hope, that helps,
Martin.

gcc install question

[Bill Dirks]

Hello, 
                                                                                                    
       
   I am new to linux and and am trying to install the latest version of 
                                           
gcc (3.3.2) on Red Hat 7.3.  I checked the prerequisites and installed the newest version 
                                       
of binutils.  I then made a objdir and ran configure then make.  When make 
                                       
was running it gave the following list of errors and then exited out.  Does anyone have an 
                                           
idea of what went wrong? 
                                                                                         
Thanks,
