Summary:
Operating system: (Linux) Ubuntu 12.04
Downloaded the “gcc-4.7.0.tar.gz” and “gcc-4.6.3-4.7.0.diff.gz” files
Unzipped the folders using the command terminal
Problem
For the past 5days I’ve been trying to install this compiler using the
terminal since the latest version of gcc isn’t available in the software
centre (4.6.3 is there instead). And I don’t want gcc 4.6.3 since it has
inferior C++ 11 support which I really need for my dissertation project the
next academic year. So far I’m stuck on stage 3 of the stages listed below
according to the documentation.
1. Prerequisites
2. Downloading the source
3. Configuration
4. Building
5. Testing (the optional phase)
6. Final Install
When triying to configure the files I've tried these commands (and they
failed)
mkdir var/gcc
cd var/gcc
usr@tubuntu:~/Downlaods/gcc-4.7.0$ configure
[--with-pkgversion=version] [--target=target]
//error received
“configure: command not found ”
I thought this was how configuration was done since the stallation document
index.html stated so. So afterwards I decided to try other methods like:
sudo ./configure
and
sudo make ./configure
and I get these errors
“./configure: command not found ”
It just feels like it doesn't want to be configured at all, all my efforts
have been in vain and its day 5 now with no progress, very irritating :((.
Plus I've rudementary commands like
make
make install
configure
make configure
sudo apt-get install
for sudo apt-get install I get the following output and nothing else :(
“Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 170 not upgraded. ”
What do I do were can I find a decent tutorial since even the installation
files are giving me a headache and I'm feeling quite discouraged at the
moment.

I followed the HowTo at
http://charette.no-ip.com:81/programming/2011-12-24_GCCv47/
I am running Ubuntu 12.04. I just did this last night, and the C code
I'm using is very simple, so I have not "stressed" this installation. My
primary interest is in looking at the assembly language code the
compiler generates for my introductory textbook.
So far, so good (with a small n).

1) Don't configure in the source tree.
2) In your case 1) seems to be ok but the directory you
try to run configure is empty. Thus: call is like
../../gcc-sources/configure or alike.
To get the prerequisites you can run
./contrib/download_prerequisites
from top-level source directory.

I tried to follow the tutorial listed but I get stuck at the configuration

Look carefully, you're missing a dollar sign on $PWD
It's $PWD not PWD
