Error while doing make for gcc-4.4-20081128

[ganeshp]

Hi All,

I was trying to install gcc-4.4-20081128 on my system (OS is SLES 10 SP1)
When i executed make command inside "build" directory, i got the following
error 

"
configure:3352: error: in `/home/ganesh/q4/comp/gcc/gcc-4.4-20081128/build':
configure:3355: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
"

when i looked in to the `config.log'  file, its content was as follows.
Can anyone please let me know on how to solve this issue ?

Thanks and regards,
Ganesh

`config.log'  file content is given below

Hi Ganesh,

Your build directory is here:
/home/ganesh/q4/comp/gcc/gcc-4.4-20081128/build

Where is the GCC source code directory?

Keep in mind that the GCC build instructions specify not to have your build directory *BE* the source code directory, nor any subdirectory thereof.

http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html

You did not provide your configure command-line.  What did you use for configure's parameters?

Sincerely,
--Eljay

Hi Eljay,

I tried following 
source directory:  /home/ganesh/q4/comp/gcc/gcc-4.4-20081128
build directory:      /home/ganesh/q4/comp/gcc/build
Inside build directory i executed ../gcc-4.4-20081128/configure
--enable-multilib --disable-nls --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran
--prefix=/home/ganesh/q4/comp/gcc/gcc_install

I get following error:
checking whether ln works... yes
checking whether ln -s works... yes
checking for gcc... gcc
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: in
`/home/ganesh/q4/comp/gcc/build':
configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.
make: *** [config.status] Error 77

config.log has following content

Hi Ganesh,

Did you delete the tainted source, rm -rf /home/ganesh/q4/comp/gcc/gcc-4.4-20081128, and then untar the GCC 4.4 source fresh?

Is the /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 64-bit shared object library located there?  If not, why not?

HTH,
-Eljay

Hi Eljay,

I removed all the files and started from first.
It worked.

Thank you,
Ganesh
