Hi everybody, (If this posting is OT please accept my apology first and appreciated to be informed of the right mailing list) I tried to install Linux-2.3.42 on RedHat 6.0, but it needs gcc-2.7.0 and above which I could not find its command in the said packet. I tried to install gcc-2.8.0 on the aforesaid packet, having it complied under /gcc-2.8.0, created a directory 'objdir' in the same directory and tried following steps respectively to configure 'gcc' in the aforesaid directory without success. a) ./configure --host=objdir or b) ./configure --host objdir following error message prompts: check host system type... Invalid configuration 'objdir': machine : 'objdir' not recognized check target system type... Invalid configuration 'objdir': machine : 'objdir' not recognized check build system type... Invalid configuration 'objdir': machine : 'objdir' not recognized checking for gcc... no checking for cc... no configure: error: no acceptable cc. found in $PATH c) ./configure --prefix=objdir or d) ./configure --prefix objdir or e) ./configure --build=objdir or f)) ./configure --build objdir or following error message prompts: loading cache ./conf.cache checking host system type... configure: error: cannot guess host type; you must specify one Kindly advise how to proceed, any incorrect syntax, or shed me some light where is the right list for this posting (I tried to post this message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] for 2 weeks but their server seems down. I also tried [EMAIL PROTECTED], of which I am a subscriber [EMAIL PROTECTED], [EMAIL PROTECTED] without any response ) Thanks in advance.
