I want to use GCC's front end for a project. As a first step i tried
installing GCC from the source code downloaded from the official
website. But i couldn't install it. Please help me out for the same.

I have Ubuntu 11.10 (32 bit OS) in my computer. It has gcc-4.6 as the
default compiler. I tried installing gcc-4.4.6 from the source package
(gcc-4.4.6.tar.gz) which I downloaded from gcc official mirror site
but I couldn't install it successfully.

I downloaded gcc4.4.6 core package (tar file) , Unzipped it and tried following
      ./configure
      sudo make install
which showed me the following error
      vidhya@vidhya-Reserved:~/Desktop/gcc-4.4.6$ sudo make install
      make[1]: Entering directory `/home/vidhya/Desktop/gcc-4.4.6'
      /bin/bash ./mkinstalldirs /usr/local /usr/local
      /bin/bash: line 3: cd: host-i686-pc-linux-gnu/fixincludes: No
such file or directory
      make[1]: *** [install-fixincludes] Error 1
      make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/vidhya/Desktop/gcc-4.4.6'
      make: *** [install] Error 2

Can anyone suggest how to install any version of gcc supported by
11.10 from its .tar file.?
