I unset all environment variables. Did configure & make. But it fails
at same point.
Rocks 5.0 is already have a GCC-4.1.2 (only).

I  need to install gcc-4.3 on a Rocks-4.2 cluster at a customer place.
Before doing that, I'm just testing it on Rocks 5.0.

Do you think gcc-4.1.2 only causing this problem?

If yes, it may not fail on Rocks-4.2 which has gcc-4.1.0 and 3.4.

Thanks,
