An error when trying to gmake install GCC 3.4.6: gmake: *** [install-target-libf2c] Error 2

Dennis,

I solved my problem. As you advised, I just disabled the support for 
Fortran so it didn't try to install the library libf2c and I didn't 
get any error when I did gmake install. Thanks so much for your help!
