'Make' needs 'Gcc' to compile but 'Gcc' needs 'Make'???
Recently got the Suse 9.0 distro and downloaded gcc-3.4.1. I read the install instructions and found that to compile gcc I needed make. So I downloaded that and it said it needed gcc to compile! Now i'm stuck with two uncompiled programs that need the compiled version of the other to compile!
I couldn't find any previous versions of either program in the distro.
After you get gcc working, you can install make (it includes a shell script so you can build it without a previous version of make). Then, if you want, you can compile GCC from source, and then recompile make with the bootstrapped compiler.
