I have done the above on both SUSE 10.0 and FC 4. To be a bit more
precise,
download to source int someplace ( /scrdir ) and put the tar file
into it.
make a scratch directory; /temp_dir
make a directory for the compiler; /comp_dir
cd /temp_dir
tar -zxf gcc-4.1.x (x is either 0 or 1 depending on which you
downloaded)
cd /temp_dir
/srcdir/gcc-4.1.x/configure --prefix=/comp_dir
make
make install
As I said this works for the two machines mentioned above, but
fails for a MacMini (power pc running OSX 10.4) and also for
windows. My guess is that it should work on the SUSE machine.
If /comp_dir is a network filesystem, then the same compiler
should be available on both machines.
Good luck,
