I have a question regarding configuration options specified in
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html
In the documentation it states:
--prefix=dirname
Specify the toplevel installation directory. This is the recommended way to
install the tools into a directory other than the default. The toplevel
installation directory defaults to /usr/local.
For this would I specify
prompt> ./configure prefix="/home/gnu"
for example.
It didn't seem to work, but came back with an error message like the following:
"Invalid configuration `prefix=/home/gnu': machine `prefix=prefix=/home/gnu' not
recognized"
Could somebody tell me whats wrong?
Thanks
Kabir

Hi,
simply replace the:
prompt> ./configure prefix="/home/gnu"
by:
prompt> ./configure prefix=/home/gnu

NO. This is not the problem.
To put it clearly this time (Ken?!):
You're missing the double dashes in front of the `--prefix' option.
../gcc-source/configure --prefix="/home/gnu"
The double quotes are okay because they are removed by the shell
before the command line arguments are passed to the configure
script. The last non-option argument is treated as a system type
specification and 'prefix=/home/gnu' is not a valid system type the
GCC configure script knows about.

Hmm, ...
and You're right.
Faults of this type happen, if one lists in 3 to 4 mailing lists, giving
itself about half a minute for each.
Sorry
