Bad move. Please use your package manager to install the C development environment, unless you really need the cutting-edge 4.4. If you do, you will have to go through the whole extract, configure, compile and install process. tar xjof gcc-whatever cd gcc-whatever ./configure make make install Go cook yourself some lunch with your fingers crossed after you press ENTER after the make. A more complete (if elaborate) description is available at: http://www-numi.fnal.gov/offline_software/srt_public_context/WebDocs/install_gcc.html Finally, two words of caution: 1. You will need an (older) C compiler to compile this version of gcc anyway. 2. You may need to go all sorts of complex things after the installation to get the new gcc working; this includes munging paths, getting new versions of libraries, assemblers, linkers, header files, etc., resolving conflicts, fixing your Linux install, ... In other words, compiling gcc from source is not a task for the faint of heart, or technically challenged.
