[SOLVED] How to install "gcc-4.4.3.tar.gz"

Hello Everybody,

I have downloaded "gcc-4.4.3.tar.gz" and it is
about 80Mb. And I want to install it on my
Ubuntu Linux.

When I type "./configure" some process starts and
then when I type "make" nothing happens.

Would you please help me in this matter?

With best regards,
Hassan

please, pastebin outputs of ./configure and make commands.

Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic : You already have the excellent
gcc-4.4.1 as the default compiler.
So why use version 4.4.3 ? ?

The install method recommended by the gcc people
is here : http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...ent/index.html

GCC-4.4.3 - Pass 1
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...gcc-pass1.html
GCC-4.4.3 - Pass 2
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...gcc-pass2.html
GCC-4.4.3 - "Pass 3" , the install
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/...ter06/gcc.html

No steps should be omitted, remember the tests too :
QUOTE : ( chapter06 )
In this section, the test suite for GCC is considered
critical. Do not skip it under any circumstance.

Dear knudfl,

Thanks for your help.

As you said gcc is installed as default.
But does it contain g77 too?
I think not, because when I type "which g77"
it does not return any thing. But "which gcc"
returns "/usr/bin/gcc".

Therefore I need to install "gcc-4.4.3.tar.gz" since
g77 is inside of it.

Am I on the wrong side???

Best regards,
Hassan

Hi,

I already gave you the link for an Ubuntu package for gcc in this thread you started.

I also told you that g77 is probably _not_ in gcc 4, it is in gcc 3.

Dear knudfl, Your instruction is more complicated for
the level of my knowledge of Linux.
Is there a more straight forward way of installing?

And

Dear druuna, the g77 file you are referring to is
only 40kb which I do not think to be the appropriate
package for g77.

I would be grateful if you could help me.

With best regards,
Hassan

And if hw-tph's link doesn't work for any reason, I just found this:

Ubuntu Forums - Help installing G77 compiler

You should be good now

Thanks to All of you.

But because I can not connect to the internet through
my Ubuntu linux so I can not use the last two replies.

I can only connect to internet through windows XP.

... Seems my problem is unsolvable!

Thanks Anyway,
Hassan

Then simply follow the instructions and perform them offline. You need to download a few .deb packages from the Ubuntu 8.04 repositories and move them to your offline computer (using a USB memory stick perhaps?). You need to install both the package itself and also the packages it depends on.

Install them on your offline computer using dpkg -i *.deb in the directory where you have the package files.

Ref. post # 10, the link for "g77"
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-updates/g77

Please click either ' i386 ' or for all x86_64 : amd64

The other required packages are :
g77-3.4, gcc-3.4, libg2c0-dev,
cpp-3.4, gcc-3.4-base, libg2c0
.. total seven packages, all from "hardy-updates".
.....

Thank knudfl,

During cpp instalation I got this error:

**************************************************

***************************************************

1st I installed gcc-3.4-base and then for installing
gcc-3.4 it needed cpp and when I wanted to install
thatI got that error.


Sorry for any incontinence.

Best regards,
Hassan

So you just got a wrong version of cpp-3.4

This is it : cpp-3.4 (3.4.6-6ubuntu5)
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy-updates/cpp-3.4

" hardy-updates " goes for all packages, else no fit.
You got a " hardy " , which is older than " hardy-updates ".
.....

And when you have all the right packages in a new directory,
just do : sudo dpkg -i *
.. The star is a wild card, selecting everything,
and dpkg takes care of the right install order.
.....

Dear knudfl,

I downloaded the file from that address and then put
all of the files in one folder and then typed:
"sudo dpkg -i *". Here again I got an error:

******************************************************

Package g77-3.4 is not installed.

I edited post # 11 to include : g77-3.4 .

May be that's the issue ? → 7 packages total.

And take care, that you get all the right versions.
I did install g77 etc. four hours ago, on Ubuntu 9.10,
so it is doable.
