Dear gnu people,
I am having difficulty just configuring gcc 2.95.3. I am using Solaris 9.
When I try to configure gcc with the command:
../gcc-2.95.3/configure --prefix=/data1/software --enable-languages=c,f77
I get this error:
checking whether we are using GNU C... (cached) yes
checking whether gcc accepts -g... (cached) yes
checking how to run the C preprocessor... (cached) gcc -E
checking whether gcc needs -traditional... no
checking for a BSD compatible install... ../../gcc-2.95.3/texinfo/../install-sh -c
checking for ranlib... (cached) ranlib
checking for texconfig... true
mkdir: Failed to make directory "/usr/local/share/texmf/dvipdfm"; Read-only file
system
kpsestat: /usr/local/share/texmf/dvipdfm/..: No such file or directory
usage: chmod [-fR] <absolute-mode> file ...
chmod [-fR] <symbolic-mode-list> file ...
where <symbolic-mode-list> is a comma-separated list of
[ugoa]{+|-|=}[rwxXlstugo]
Our /usr/local is linked from a central location is we cannot write in it. But,
when I do this with gcc-3.3.2, this error does not occur. We want to use 2.95.3
because it is more stable. We can't use the downloadable executables because we
need to modify the source to make MXUNIT=10000.
Chances are it's system problem, but my system admin is too busy to come deal
with this, so I am looking for help wherever I can get it.
thanx for your assistance in this matter,
Keith Evans
