Hello, First, thanks for creating this project. I have been looking for something like this for some time now. I am eager to show people this project once I get this to work for myself.
* I am using version 6.5 of the book * All the software packages used are exact MD5SUM matches as in the book. * I am preparing this on a 32-bit i686 machine, hosted with Debian Lenny. * I have followed the instructions exactly as stated. * Step 5.4.1 was completed successfully. I unpacked mpfr and gmp and then created gcc-build to build gcc in. When I try to 'configure' before compiling, it fails because "Building GCC requires GMP 4.1+ and MPFR 2.3.2+". This is consistent with what I read in Chapter 5.5.1, but I am not told what is to be done about it. I moved the mpfr and gmp directories to gcc-build, and it still didn't see the files. Should I compile them first? It never told me to do that though. Or maybe it is because I might have been in the wrong directory. You see the path here in this line is relative to the path given by 'pwd'. tar -jxf ../mpfr-2.4.1.tar.bz2 I was never told which directory I was supposed to be in when I executed this, but it might have been incorrect. I am looking for ideas. It has been over 10 years since I have done this.
