problems installing gcc, no workin cc

problems installing gcc, no workin cc

[Dean Harper]

Hello,
I'm kinda new to installing software in this fashion, (configure, make,
test, install) I'm trying to install GCC compiler and I get the
following error;

Configuring for a sparc-sun-solaris2.6 host.
Created "Makefile" in /export/home/dean/gcc-2.95.2 using "mh-frag"
*** The command '/usr/bin/cc -o conftest -g   conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.

So I downloaded (what I thought was the binaries to GCC) and un-tarred
them into my /usr directory and created a CC variable my profile set it
to /usr/bin/gcc (the gcc I just untarred) and now when I run the
configure for GCC I get this error;

Configuring for a sparc-sun-solaris2.6 host.
Created "Makefile" in /export/home/dean/gcc-2.95.2 using "mh-frag"
cpp: Internal compiler error: program cpp got fatal signal 9
*** The command '/usr/bin/gcc -o conftest -g   conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.


Michel Duchame replied to me earlier and said I could download the
binaries from www.sunfreeware.com, I've download all files regarding GCC
and all I need are some instructions on how to install it.
 Any and all help will be appreciated, I'm really at a standstill here.
regards

This is a symptom of your not having installed the binaries in the
directory in which they're supposed to be installed.  gcc is expecting
to run the internal C pre-processor, but it ends up finding the
external cpp driver, that again tries to run the internal preprocessor
but ends up finding itself.

Try setting GCC_EXEC_PREFIX=/usr, if that's where you installed it.

You should be able to find such instructions there, where you found
the binaries, not here.
