I have had pretty good luck now by using the contributed script "http://gcc.gnu.org/svn/gcc/trunk/contrib/download_prerequisites"; suggested to me by Andrew Haley. That, IMHO, should be on the gcc build instructions page with a link to the script and instructions to run it in the unpacked gcc sources directory. That should minimize build problems for released versions. Regards, -Tom Thomas. M. Browder, Jr. Niceville, FL USA
