I had sent this to the wrong maillist I think. Yet another error. :-\

In any case .. here it is :

This error occurs well into the stage 2 of the bootstrap process.

Here are the specifics :

configure line used was

../gcc-4.2.3/configure --with-as=/home/dclarke/local/bin/as
--with-ld=/home/dclarke/local/bin/ld --enable-threads=posix --disable-nls
--prefix=/home/dclarke/local --with-local-prefix=/home/dclarke/local
--enable-shared --enable-languages=c,c++,objc,fortran
--with-gmp=/home/dclarke/local --with-mpfr=/home/dclarke/local
--enable-bootstrap

GNU Binutils 2.18
GNU Make 3.81
flex 2.5.35
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61
automake (GNU automake) 1.10.1

Both GMP and MPFR are built and pass all tests and the libraries are created
fine :

gmp-4.2.2
mpfr-2.3.1

configure: error: GNU Fortran is not working; the most common reason for
that is that you might have linked it to shared GMP and/or MPFR libraries,
and not set LD_LIBRARY_PATH accordingly. If you suspect any other reason,
please report a bug in http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla, attaching
/home/dclarke/build/first_pass/gcc/gcc-4.2.3-build/powerpc-unknown-linux-gnu/lib gfortran/config.log

dclarke$

This has happened repeatedly now .. twice actually. Not too sure what to do
to get out of this little bind.

Should I just set LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/local/lib ??

Any thoughts ?
