ok - but I always thought, it is especially convenient in Unix to have softwares versions installed in personal directories - and have the environment determine which version is used. not true??? if it's true, then is gcc an exception???

Can you not compile up your own version of gcc from sources ? Its pretty simple (If the O/S is supported), and you can then specify the install dir.

That sounds like what I have been asking for - can I get the source for gcc that I can install in a directory of my choice??

Thanks!

yes you can. download the source and build it. make sure use the --prefix configure option. also - it is not the norm to install software like a heavy weight compiler in a users home directory.

GCC, the GNU Compiler Collection - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)


here is the option I used on my Solaris box. keep in mind you will have to setup your paths correctly when building and running the programs.

Code:
$ gcc -v
Reading specs from /usr/local/gcc-3.4.5/lib/gcc/sparc-sun-solaris2.9/3.4.5/specs
Configured with: ../gcc-3.4.5/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-3.4.5 --with-as=/usr/local/bin/as --with-ld=/usr/local/bin/ld
Thread model: posix
gcc version 3.4.5

I mentioned it before - relocatable or not - you need root to install anything on the systems ...

BTW - why don't you just compile your code on any other system that does have gcc installed? With cross compiler options, you could even compile code for AIX on say a solaris box.

I believe that is why he is interested in compiling up GCC with a different prefix configured - in that event he does not have to be root or have root access to create a working gcc executable.

Ok - I did get the admin to upgrade the gcc version to 4.2 eventually. Thanks for your help so far!!!

However, if you guys wouldn't mind helping me out, I am having a problem with Apache installation that is using the new gcc compiler - here is the error -

1. Configure works well (maybe not as the next step fails)
2. Make fails with the following error -
Code:
collect2: library libgcc_s not found
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

Stop.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

Stop.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

Stop.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

Stop.

Thanks as always!
