Hi, I am trying to install gcc compiler 3.4.0 on Red Hat Advance Server 2.1. Current gcc version is 3.2.2-5 which is seems to bugy as I have tried to compile and install some other packages and was getting error messages which denoting that it is a problem with bugy gcc compiler version which had been shipped with Red Hat Advanced Server2.1 After that I have decided to upgrade gcc compiler version from 3.2.2-5 to 3.4.0. For upgrading I am following steps given below. Running ../gcc-3.4.0/configure --prefix=/usr/bin/gcc-3.4.0 command from gcc-3.4.0-build directoy. Configuration steps is getting completed without any errors. Then from gcc-3.4.0-build directory I am running make command which is giving following errors as given below..
