Subject: Problem installing gcc 3.4.2 on Solaris 9

Hi:

I've downloaded the full sources for gcc and unpacked them somewhere
into my home directory.  This results in a subdirectory of my home
directory called gcc-3.4.2.  I then did the following:

mkdir objdir
cd objdir
/home/mcfall/dept/sysadmin/gcc-3.4.2/configure --prefix=/opt/gnu2
--with-local-prefix=/opt/gnu2 --enable-threads=solaris
--enable-version-specific-runtime-libs --enable-languages=c,c++,f77 make
bootstrap make install

Without specifying the full path to configure, I got problems running
make install, complaining about install-sh not being found in a relative
path name.  I found the suggestion to use a full path name on another
post.

This series of commands worked without make returning any errors that I
could see.  However, there is nothing in the /opt/gnu2/include
directory, and this makes compiling anything useful obviously difficult.

Did I miss something here?  I've looked through all the installation
docs and I don't see anything that I should have done differently or
additionally.

Thanks,
Ryan

When it is empty why did you specify --with-local-prefix then??? 

From the install docs:

"--with-local-prefix=dirname

 Specify the installation directory for local include files. The default is /usr/local. 
 Specify this option if you want the compiler to search directory dirname/include for 
 locally installed header files *instead* of /usr/local/include."

 [...]

 Indications are that people who use this option use it based on mistaken ideas of what 
 it is for. People use it as if it specified where to install part of GCC. Perhaps they 
 make this assumption because installing GCC creates the directory."
