Problems installing 'binutils'

[kabir.patel@uk.andersen.com]

I downloaded the 'binutils' files, and have "gzip -d" it and then "tar -xvf" it.

After doing this the README file indicates that one must:

a) setenv CC gcc

b) ./configure

for .csh

When I run ./configure, I get the following error messages:

Configuring for a sparc-sun-solaris2.8 host.
touch: config.junk cannot create
mv: cannot access config.junk
*** cannot find move-if-change.

I cannot find config.junk, but the move-if-change file definitely exists.

Do I need to run the configure script in /usr/ccs/bin/ ?

Thanks

Kabir

It's seems that you are using a non-gnu 'as'. Suggest you downloading gnu
'binutils',
 install it and make sure the correct 'as' is used ( the simplest way is rm
/usr/ccs/bin/as :-) ).
