Install stable latest gcc 4.4.x on a workstation (Kubuntu 9.04)

[lehe]

Thanks! I got this error while configuring:
"configure: error: Building GCC requires GMP 4.1+ and MPFR 2.3.2+.
Try the --with-gmp and/or --with-mpfr options to specify their locations."

How to know if there are GMP 4.1+ and MPFR 2.3.2+ installed on the
workstation and where they are?
 
Thanks and regards!
