You should not be using configure in the source directory.
You should configure and build gcc in a different directory, separated from 
the source tree, eg:

let's say
   ~/src/gcc
is the directory with the gcc sources; you should configure and build in, say,
   ~/src/build
doing:
   cd ~/src/build
   ../gcc/configure [options]

I'm having problems running the " ./configure" command. Each time I try running
it I get a "./configure: not found" error message.

I have checked the file path, and have granted sufficient permissions to run the
script.

Could somebody tell me what the problem might be?

Thanks
Kabir

I think ftp://aeneas.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gcc/gcc-3.0.2/gcc-core-3.0.2.tar.gz 
will be just fine.

This means that if you want, ie. Objective C, you need 
ftp://aeneas.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gcc/gcc-3.0.2/gcc-objc-3.0.2.tar.gz IN 
ADDITION TO ftp://aeneas.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gcc/gcc-3.0.2/gcc-core-3.0.2.tar.gz.

>c) Is there a specific location for me to download the files (eg. /var, /etc

No, you can put where you like.

>d) Does "unpacking" mean uncompressing? If so, where should the uncompressed
>files go?

Same as above. Eg:
wget ftp://aeneas.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gcc/gcc-3.0.2/gcc-objc-3.0.2.tar.gz
tar -xvvzf gcc-objc-3.0.2.tar.gz

Then you should configure it to build in a different location, eg:
(after the above)
mkdir build-3.0.2
cd build-3.0.2
../gcc-3.0.2/configure <options>

See http://gcc.gnu.org/install/configure.html and 
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/build.html for more infos.

Elementary problems with gcc 3.0.2 installation

[kabir.patel]

I am intending to install gcc 3.0.2 onto a Solaris 2.8 operating system. I was
told to download the files needed from

ftp://aeneas.mit.edu/pub/gnu/gcc/gcc-3.0.2/

Could somebody help me with the following questions relating to the instructions
on

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

a) In the instructions it states "The full distribution includes the C, C++,
Objective-C, Fortran, Java, and CHILL compilers" I only want the C compiler.
Which files exactly do I need to download to get only the C compiler?
b) In the instructions it states "If you choose to download specific components,
you must download the core GCC distribution". What does this mean?
c) Is there a specific location for me to download the files (eg. /var, /etc
....)
d) Does "unpacking" mean uncompressing? If so, where should the uncompressed
files go?

Many thanks
Kabir
