g77 install problem on an i386 platform running FreeBSD 4.2.xO/S

[Joseph Maxwell]

Hi Toon,
Thanks for your reply, 'make bootstrap' did not seem to make any difference,
the same error occurred. Where did you find that instruction set. I was
working with one from http"//www.gnu.org/software/gengetopt/INSTALL and it
only referred to 'make'. Anyway, these are the results from the 'make
bootstrap', below:

End of Stdout just prior to fatal termination

       exit 1;  fi;  else true;  fi;  fi;  done;  fi
     "Makefile", line 3110: Need an operator
     "Makefile", line 3515: Need an operator
     make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue
     *** Error code 1

     Stop in /usr/local/gcc-3.2.3.
     *** Error code 1

     Stop in /usr/local/gcc-3.2.3.

History output
# h 2

         161  10:17   sh ./configure
        162  10:18   make bootstrap
        163  10:53   h 2


Thanks, any more ideas
