Installation error within phase "build"

Hallo, 

I am running Suse-Linux 6.3 with gcc V2.91.66 installed on a pc (with AMD 600
processor).

Having downloaded gcc V2.95.2 the configuration phase ("configure --enable-version-specific-runtime-libs")  
has run without errors. Running the building phase ("make bootstrap") results in the error message :

..
..
Bootstrapping the compiler
make[1]: Entering directory `/gcc_obj_2.95.2/gcc´
make CC="gcc" libdir=/usr/local/lib LANGUAGES="c "
make[2]: Entering directory `/gcc_obj_2.95.2/gcc´
gperf -L C -F ´, 0, 0 -p -j1 -i 1 -g -o -t -G -N is_reserved_word \
     -k1,3,$ /gcc_src_2.95.2/gcc/c-parse.gperf >tmp-gperf.h
/bin/sh: gperf: command not found
..
..

And indeed no program called "gperf" exits on the pc. On the other hand the description of the building phase 
says that calling "make bootstrap" will build all host tools (including texinfo, bison,gperf) necessary to build the
compiler. 

What have I to do for generating "gperf" ?
