It is difficult to tell what you should do to solve the dependencies, without knowing what you have already installed, what system you are using, etc.

A missing header file can be due to the fact that you have a certain tool installed, but not it's development additions. As an example: installing mysql gives you an SQL server, but to do development with/for mysql you also have to install mysql-devel. This is usually done by a packaging manager (rpm, yum or similar).

Arch Linux

So which Linux are you using ?

Somewhere in the gcc documentation, the "Linux From Scratch"
method is recommended, for building gcc.

Please see LFS-BOOK-6.3-HTML.tar.bz2 for gcc-4.1.x build :
http://www.filewatcher.com/m/LFS-BOO...57146.0.0.html

'mpfr', 'gmp' : no need to have them installed, the unpacked
tarballs inside 'gcc-4.1x/' will do, AFAIK.
A build directory outside 'gcc-4.1x/' is required for best result.

A usable configure command for 'pass1' would be

Code:

../gcc-4.1.2/configure --prefix=<my-new-gcc-pass1> --disable-nls --enable-shared --enable-languages=c

( You will have to call the resultant 'gcc' with 'CC=...',
when doing pass 2 )
