Hi pepi,

You pulled down the source code.

To build the source code, you need to have a compiler installed and the
support tools it requires (such as make and gas and such).

Do you have a compiler installed?

Most Linux distributions use GCC.  Many of them have it pre-installed, but
not all.

>From whomever makes your distribution, you'll need to pull down their
pre-built package of GCC.

Then you are ready to build GCC.

Here are instructions:
http://gcc.gnu.org/install/build.html

If you merely want to have GCC installed, and not build it yourself, then
install the pre-built GCC package from your distribution supplier.

HTH,
