problems installing libstd++-2.91 with gcc-2.95.2

["Brett Calcott" <brett dot calcott at clear dot net dot nz>]

Hi,

I am experienced c++ programmer trying to make the move from Windows to
Linux (ie. Limited Linux experience!) My first steps to compile my pet
project came to a halt when the standard C++ install that comes with
Mandrake 7.2 didn't have <sstream>.

So, I have downloaded the source to libstd++-2.91 and gcc-2.95.2, untarred
all, copied the directories as per the instructions done a 'make bootstrap'
and 'make install' (using prefix /usr/local/gcc).

However, although everything compiles correctly and gcc/g++ appear in the
bin directory - none of the include files seem to have been copied to
corresponding include/ subdir as suggested by the installation instructions
from install.html (as follows):

cut-------
Installation will create the destdir directory and populate it with
subdirectories:

   lib/
   include/g++-v3/
      bits/
      backward/
      ext/
cut--------

The include file exists, but none of the subdirs do.

I am figuring that there is some silly omission on my part somewhere but I
have scanned the mailing list and found no answers.

Thanks for any help.

Brett.
