Hello Steve,
It's been a while since you've poked your head round here. ;-)
This error message you are getting is quite misleading and
frequently the
problem has nothing to do with the message. You have to check
the file
'config.log' in the directory where the error occurred. In the
error you
are getting, you would have to check the 'config.log' file in
the directory
'/home/steve/gdc/objdir/i686-pc-linux-gnu/libgcc'. There might
be several
test programs that failed during the configuration, but some of
these
failures are non-critical. Check for the last error entry in
the file.
However a common cause is that the tequired libraries for the
GCC build are
missing, specifically MPFR, GMP and MPC.
In Ubuntu, even if these packages are installed, they are put
into
multiarch directories which vanilla GCC isn't aware of.
Can you export the following two environment variables, and see
if it
continues to fail.
export CPATH=/usr/include/i686-linux-gnu
export LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/i686-linux-gnu
I have libmpfr.so.4, so what do I need to change to make the
build look for that instead - shall I just rename the link?
