GCC won't install
Hi,
I'm trying to install in Debian a particular version of GCC. I've downloaded from GNU the file gcc-3.3.1.tar.gz. In "/root" I created a directory called "temp" where I placed the file. In "temp" I run the command "tar zxvf gcc-3.3.1.tar.gz" that extracted all the files to the directory "gcc-3.3.1". In temp, I created a new directory called "obj". In "obj" I run the command line "/root/temp/gcc-3.3.1/configure". The program started to run. Then I run make.The problem is that it gave two errors at the end. Then I ran install, and it gave error again. I think I made all the right steps - I followed the manual: created a separate dir for the GCC to be built; didn't define a target so it assumes the host=target, etc...
What am I doing wrong? Did I dowloaded the wrong package? Is there some other command option I should have given?
I'm struggling against time friends. Can someone help me please?
Regards,
Kepler

Testing (sarge) is currently at 3.3.4. If you really (really really) need 3.3.1 speciifically, try finding an archived .deb package of it. I haven't had to do this myself in years, but building gcc can be convoluted, and you may discover you also need specific versions of binutils, glibc, linstdc++, gmake... There are sites archiving all historical versions of past debian packages, but I can't seem to find a quick link; sorry.

Unless you have a reason to want to compile from source, it is far easier to install packages with apt-get.
Google 'gcc' search within results '3.3.1' search within results '.deb' gives
http://www.jukie.net/~bart/debian/am...3/3.3.1-0pre0/
as a source for gcc 3.3.1 .deb package.

*.Deb is the ones you are looking for i think.
but those that the link point to are for the AMD 64bit CPU's. so i think you might be barking up the wrong tree here.
and i am sad to say that not even Google the magnificent have found me any 3.3.1.
and top make things really interesting, there seems to be a major bug in that version (got lots of hits with bug in them).
