Hi William My error message was on pass 2; pass 1 worked as expected, but looking at the posts it seems to make no difference; it appears to be random. I tried running make again but it failed at the same place -- MPC configure couldn't find the MPFR libraries even though they were there. I've tried with, and without, make -j 2. It took me five attempts to get GCC to build; I tried removing all traces of GCC, reextracting, and trying again with no success. On one occasion, in desperation, I copied and pasted all the commands to remove the possibility of an error introduced by me, but still no success. Finally, I left the computer running and had a break. I returned and tried again and bingo -- GCC compiled. I'm at a loss to explain why MPC configure finally found the MPFR libraries when it couldn't find them before. To sum up -- whatever I did to try and make the compilation of GCC succeed had absolutely no affect. On the fifth attempt when it did succeed I had removed all traces of GCC, reextracted, and run configure and make, exactly as I had in some previous failed attempts. Richard
