Hi Nick,
> However, in the insctutions on building it only says to do a make.
The configure is step #3.
The build is step #4.
Before you can do a make, you need to do the configure.
And, as per the instructions, do not make your objdir anywhere within the
GCC source code directory. (You can make it a peer to the source code, so
it's "../objdir" relative to the GCC source.)
You'd configure it by:
../gcc-4.3.0/configure
Or use a full path:
/home/nickengland/gcc-4.3.0/configure
HTH,
