gcc 4.6.3 installation gmp 5.0.5 mpfr 3.1.1 errors
 

Hi,

I am trying to install a new gcc version (g++ version) in my home directory on a server I have access too. This server already has gcc elsewhere (and gmp etc) but older versions, and I want to locally install new ones.

I followed this guide http://advogato.org/person/redi/diary/240.html to the letter, working in my home directory. In summary I downloaded the new tars (gcc,gmp,mpfr,mpc) extracted them and moved into the sources directory of gcc (ensuring they were then named 'gmp', 'mpfr', 'mpc'). I cd out and then into the build directory (objdir) and from there ran configure. Configure goes through fine but then 'make' eventually returns:

checking for MPFR... yes
checking for recent GMP... yes
checking for recent MPFR... no
configure: error: MPFR version >= 2.4.2 required
make[2]: *** [configure-stage1-mpc] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/myusername/gcc-temp/objdir'
make[1]: *** [stage1-bubble] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/myusername/gcc-temp/objdir'
make: *** [all] Error 2

Does it really have to be version 2.4.2? Is this the problem?

Is the fact gcc etc are already installed elsewhere messing things up?

GCC 4.6.x
The configure line should include two "--with-mpfr-* " entries :

$ ../gcc-4.6.3/configure --prefix=/home/<???> --program-suffix=46 --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-threads=posix --enable-shared --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu --disable-multilib --with-mpfr-include=$(pwd)/../gcc-4.6.3/mpfr/src --with-mpfr-lib=$(pwd)/mpfr/src/.libs

#2 http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...-4175427303/#2

... And please do not replace '$(pwd)' with an absolute path.
(( pwd is actually the object / build directory.))

.

.. And : Welcome to LQ.


Be aware that the "configure suggestion" in the advogato.org link won't make any gcc
http://advogato.org/person/redi/diary/240.html
( ${rootdir}/gcc-${gccver}/configure --prefix=${prefix} --enable-languages=${langs} )

The options shown in post #2 are the proof "minimum options".

.

thanks for the reply.
I didn't know I needed the with-mpfr options when it was already in the source directory.

I just want to be clear on this. Here is my directory setup on the server:

/home/myusername/gcc-temp (temporary directory which will include the src and build dir for gcc)
/home/myusername/opt/gcc-4.6.3 (where I plan to install gcc)

then there is
/home/myusername/gcc-temp/gcc-4.6.3 (the source directory)
/home/myusername/gcc-temp/objdir (the build dir)

I have tar GMP,MPFR,MPC into /home/myusername/gcc-temp/gcc-4.6.3 and called them gmp,mpfr,mpc. I then cd in to 'objdir' and with your options I would run

/home/myusername/gcc-temp/gcc-4.6.3/configure --prefix=/home/myusername/opt/gcc-4.6.3 --program-suffix=46 --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-threads=posix --enable-shared --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu --disable-multilib --with-mpfr-include=$(pwd)/../gcc-4.6.3/mpfr/src --with-mpfr-lib=$(pwd)/mpfr/src/.libs

i.e. you want me to leave $pwd shell variable verbatim. Should we not have '--with-mpfr-lib=$(pwd)/../gcc-4.6.3/mpfr/src/.libs' then?

I did what you said and it has certainly got me a little further it seems, but now I hit the error below (I've also attached the config.log if that helps)

Looks to me like it is still trying to use the other old system versions? do I need to change the $PATH or $LD_LIBRARY_PATH vars?

The gmp/ you have in gcc-4.6.3/ should be picked up and used ( as a copy )
in the object directory.

Why have you got gmp in /opt/streamline-packages/gmp-5.0.0/lib64 ? ?
Not required. Could be uninstalled ? Or you can hide it at build time.
The gmp/ in gcc-4.6.3/ will be compiled into gcc, I think :
No system gmp / mpfr libs will be required to run the gcc46 executable's,
if I remember right.

Not my server so can't do that, as I say this server has old versions of gmp, mpfr and gcc already on it but I can't touch those (the admin wont upgrade but has suggested I can do a local install), that's why I want to make an isolated local install in my home dir.

How? just for reference PATH=/bin:/usr/bin: and LD_LIBRARY_PATH="" (as are LIBRARY_PATH, C_INCLUDE_PATH, CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH, LD_RUN_PATH also empty). I don't even know how the build knows about /opt/streamline-packages.

On Ubuntu it should be possible to export an exclusive LD_LIBRARY_PATH :

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib:/lib && ../gcc-4.6.3/configure --prefix=.....

Be aware that the export command is temporary :
Will reset to default when you exit the terminal.

I had already exported `export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=""` to try to stop the build looking elsewhere for libs (the libraries you mentioned, /usr/lib:/lib, are the system libs with the old gmp in, maybe you were just giving an example, but I certainly don't want the build looking there for libs, I want to keep the install local.

I'm still getting the same error either way

/bin/sed: can't read /opt/streamline-packages/gmp-5.0.0/lib64/libgmp.la: No such file or directory
libtool: link: `/opt/streamline-packages/gmp-5.0.0/lib64/libgmp.la' is not a valid libtool archive
make[5]: *** [libmpc.la] Error 1

Any ideas?

Just to double confirm : previously you really did mean: `--with-mpfr-lib=$(pwd)/mpfr/src/.libs` NOT `--with-mpfr-lib=$(pwd)/../gcc-4.6.3/mpfr/mpfr/src/.libs` ? This mismatch just seems odd compared to you --with-mpfr-include flag. Surely it really should be location of the mpfr libs in the source dir we are after?

# 9 : Ref. post # 2. It is still

--with-mpfr-include=$(pwd)/../gcc-4.6.3/mpfr/src
--with-mpfr-lib=$(pwd)/mpfr/src/.libs

"pwd is actually the object / build directory" :
The libraries are in objdir/mpfr/src/.libs ,
and the includes are looked for in the source directory: gcc-4.6.3/mpfr/src/


But that doesn't solve the "/opt////gmp-5.0.0/lib64/libgmp.la" issue.
And : /lib/ cannot be excluded, as gcc depends on /lib///libgcc_s.so.1
( But may be gcc is hard coded to know the path to libgcc_s.so.1 ? )

Which version of Ubuntu are you using ? ( $ cat /etc/issue/ )

.

# 9

You could also try adding the options, that were used for gcc-4.5.x :

--with-gmp-include=$(pwd)/gmp --with-gmp-lib=$(pwd)/gmp/.libs

Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 (Tikanga) is the version of linux on the server


you mean the libraries will be *placed* (or installed into) objdir/mpfr/src/.libs? becuase objdir starts out empty before the configure and make right? (just checking, don't mean to be pedantic)

# 12
Yes, gmp/, mpfr/, etc. will appear in objdir/ after a very short time,
when things work as intended.

* Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.8 - 64bits : OK.
Please confirm 64bits : $ uname -m
The perfect solution for all issues: Building gcc on another EL 5, a clean install.
I did build a gcc-4.7.0 on EL5. So gcc-4.6.3 should be equally easy.
And my result, an rpm? package can be downloaded 'from Google Docs'.
A stand alone package is 20..25 MB (gcc-4.6.3 is 26 MB as a .deb binary package.)

Suggest --prefix : /home/<username>/usr/ ?
<username> : If you don't want to show it here, please send a message :
http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...ember&u=386037

.

Yes, def 64 bit: uname -m leads to x86_64.

In the end I tried a method based on http://www.acsu.buffalo.edu/~charngda/cc_build.html, i.e. installed mpfr,gmp,mpc first in another directory `/home/myusername/tmp/gcc`, so that they weren't just extracted but actually pre-built and pre-built statically (e.g. configure --disable-shared --enable-static --prefix=/tmp/gcc --enable-cxx for building gmp first).

I then removed the gmp,mpfr, mpc sub dir from the gcc source from when we were attempting to install that way. I exported `export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/myusername/tmp/gcc/lib`, `export LIBRARY_PATH=/home/myusername/tmp/gcc/lib`, `export LD_RUN_PATH=/home/myusername/tmp/gcc/lib`, `C_INCLUDE_PATH=/home/myusername/tmp/gcc/include`, `CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH=/home/myusername/tmp/gcc/include`, and `export PATH=/bin:/usr/bin:` (just so I can still `ls`, 'cd' etc).

Finally went into my `objdir` and did

/home/myusername/gcc-temp/gcc-4.6.3/configure --prefix=/home/myusername/opt/gcc-4.6.3 --program-suffix=46 --enable-languages=c,c++ --enable-threads=posix --enable-shared --enable-__cxa_atexit --enable-clocale=gnu --disable-multilib --with-mpfr-include=/home/myusername/tmp/gcc/include --with-mpfr-lib=/home/myusername/tmp/gcc/lib --with-gmp-include=/home/myusername/tmp/gcc/include --with-gmp-lib=/home/myusername/tmp/gcc/lib --with-mpc-include=/home/myusername/tmp/gcc/include --with-mpc-lib=/home/myusername/tmp/gcc/lib

this has now installed 4.6.3 it seems.

I may be misunderstanding but are you suggesting some how locally installing enterprise linux 5 (el5) in my home dir, then installing gcc within that?
