need help on gcc installation

[Gonca Orgulu <gonca at anatolia dot koeri dot boun dot edu dot tr>]

Gerald,

I am new for program installation and am not sys admin. 
I tried to understand the instructions, but i think that i did not
understand very well.
Probably, my problem for ld is related to the path definition. I am
running the program "configure" as root. While as root, the system
does not find ld command. Actually, i have link editor program which is in
a different path. I tried to give a path for the ld command in configure 
as below,

ld='/usr/ccs/bin/ld'

I am not sure i am doing correctly. 

Could you help me?
Gonca

Please do not contact several addresses with your questions at once.
Please refrain from sending HTML mail.

  configure: error: no acceptable ld found in $PATH
  Configure in /export/home/gonca/gcc-3.2/objdir/zlib failed, exiting.

This error message from your run of configure says it: you do not have
a suitable ld in your $PATH.

(You _did_ follow the instructions as presented at
  http://gcc.gnu.org/install/specific.html#*-*-solaris2*
didn't you?)

Gerald
