Although I have been able to get gcc to the point where I could build lame and run liveice, it isn't fully installed from a Debian perspective, so when I try to install libtool this is what I get:
dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of libtool: libtool depends on gcc | c-compiler; however: Package gcc is not configured yet. Package c-compiler is not installed. Package gcc which provides c-compiler is not configured yet. Package gcc-2.95 which provides c-compiler is not configured yet. dpkg: error processing libtool (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: libtool
When I try to install gcc I seem to get into a circular loop where
# dpkg -i gcc_2.95.4-14_i386.deb (Reading database ... 38582 files and directories currently installed.) Preparing to replace gcc 2:2.95.4-14 (using gcc_2.95.4-14_i386.deb) ...

Will the "real" gcc-2.95 please stand up?
http://packages.debian.org/stable/devel/gcc-2.95.html -> gcc (>= 1:2.95.3-2) -> Package: gcc 2:2.95.4-14 -> [depends] gcc-2.95 -> Package: gcc-2.95 1:2.95.4-11woody1
end of chain.
Obviously doing something naive or dumb. I think gcc 2:2.95.4-14 and gcc-2.95 1:2.95.4-11woody1 are basically the same kind of thing. What am I missing?
Any chance of gcc version 3.2.1 any time soon?
As usual, your help is most appreciated;
