install gcc3.4.0 problem.

[longgage]

I've tried installing GCC3.4.0 on my redhat linux9.0 , but every time I go to configure(run:

# ../gcc-3.4.0/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-3.4.0 --enable-threads=posix --disable-checking --enable--long-long --host=i386-redhat-linux --with-system-zlib --enable-languages=c,c++,java

, it messes up

~/Source/objdir# /root/Source/configure
creating cache ./config.cache
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld
checking for a BSD compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
/root/Source/configure: line 2332: cc: command not found
*** The command 'cc -o conftest -g conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.
~/Source/objdir#

how to solve it. now I cant install any software.

I think your problem is, $CC is set to "cc",
and not "gcc".....

seems so from the log you posted at least...

seems weird though...
do set | grep cc
and see what happens...

because if you are running RH I assume you are using the gcc compiler...

right?

I input :
#set | grep cc
no info display.
I think it need a pre-built binary gcc.

but how to do it next?

thanks for your help.

I am using RedHat 7.3. I want to install gcc3.4.0, so I did these steps:

1- uninstall gcc-2.9.6:
I could uninstall these packages: gcc-g77-2.96-110, gcc-objc-2.96-110, gcc-c++-2.96-110, gcc-chill-2.96-110, gcc-java-2.96-110. But gcc-2.96.110 was still needed by kernel-source-2.1.18-3, so I couldn't uninstall the last ackage: gcc-2.96-110.
I had gcc3.4-3.4.0-1mdk.i586.rpm and use the command rpm --upgrade to install it.
After I used this command, there was an error, and it required me to install: binutils >= 2.14.90.0.5-1mdk, gcc3.4-cpp = 3.4.0-1mdk, libgcc >= 3.3.2-5mdk and libc.so.6(GLIB_2.3)

I want to ask: Can I install gc3.4.0 on RedHat7.3? And if yes, are there any other ways to install gcc3.4.0?

Thank you in advance.[/b]

Yes, you can install GCC 3.4 on a RH7.3 system, but there will quite a number of dependencies that you will need to upgrade as well. That's how it is - they changed quite a number of binary-compatibility issues in the release of GCC 3.
