 OK, but if you read my description. =20
 I was building it in an external "build" directory.
 
 I traced it to a missing " ../ " in the Makefile generation.
 
 pls  read how I solved it
 
 
 cheers, and thanks

>Description:
When trying to do a "make install" on the built gcc-3.1, the installation fails, with an error indicating that "install-sh" cannot be found.
>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
For a quick fix, I have added a Symlink to the source tree, inside the build tree.
i.e.:
/usr/local/gcc-3.1   (source tree)
/usr/local/gcc-31-build   (build tree)

I have added the following:
/usr/local/gcc-31-build/gcc-3.1 -> /usr/local/gcc-3.1
by doing
cd /usr/local/gcc-31-build
ln -s /usr/local/gcc-3.1 gcc-3.1

It now installs fineola.
