if you are running Linux u should be having a version of gcc. Just set
CC=%path to gcc%; export CC
The reason is that it needs a C compiler to compile the GCC sources.
As far as the host is concerned, it is the OS *not* the network host. There
is a list of hosts in the file config.guess. give the most appropriate
according to the OS u r running.

:) I'm running Linux on a pentium class processor (AMD K6-2 to be exact). I
:) dunno if processor type actually matters but...
:) This is my problem. I'm in /usr/gcc (where I want to set
:) it up to)
:) and type /usr/gcc-2.95.2/configure and it tells me config.guess can not
:) figure out the host name so I type in /usr/gcc-2.95.2/configure
:) --host=localhost.localdomain and it says: /usr/gcc-2.95.2/configure: cc:
:) command not found *** the command 'cc -o conftest -g conftest.c'
:) failed ***
:) you must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.
:) I don't have
:) a compiler that I know on my computer to set it to and I don't
:) know how to
:) set it anyway. Do you know why this happens and how I can deal
:) with it to
:) get the GCC compiler working on my computer?
:)
:) Thanks,
:) Manji
