If I don"t build as root I get errors with removing certain files due to lack
of permissions for some reason.

I tried putting them in the gcc-4.5.0 directory and I tried installing them
from my distro, but neither of these worked to fix the error.

Sorry, but I am relatively new to Linux and am not experienced in reading this
file. However, in looking through it I noticed several places where it printed
an error and then a portion of C code where the error occurred. One of these
seemed to be checking the version of MPFR. Others couldn"t find certain .h
files.
