Hello.  

    I have read the GCC faq, but am still having problems
compiling.  I am currently running .99pl12, (Slackware, disks
a1-4) and trying to compile gcc2.4.5.  I would like to be able to
compile it instead of downloading the precompiled version, so any
help you may have to offer would be greatly appreciated.  The
error that I received causes the compiliation to stop.  It
reports somthing like:  

               [genattr] could not find attr.h 

I have downloaded and installed (although I'm not sure if correctly):
         
                   inc-4.4.1
                   inc-4.4-4.4.1
                   libc-4.4.1
                   libc-4.4-4.4.1
                   image-4.4.1
                   extra-4.4.1

These were taken from sunsite.

I can send a capture of the screen where the problem occurs, if
necessary.  

Also I told GCC's configure that I have "i386-linux"

This is after MANY hours of reading FAQs, install files, etc. I
have even tried to compile GCC under both the Slackware and
yggradsil distributions.


Also, I have seen many references to xiafa, and haven't been able
to figure out not only what it is, but how to use it.  Is it
related to gcc, or linux, or am I not even close?


My computer configuration goes like this:

   386DX/40
   Western Digital Caviar 340mg IDE (linux only, two partitions)
   Caviar 170mg IDE (DOS)
   Seagate ST3144 IDE (DOS)
   Promise Tech 4-IDE cntrller card
   SVGA with Trident 8900c
   Linux pl12 (Kernel Slackware, rest Yggdrasil)
   9600 generic modem
   MS mouse
   Thunder Board 8bit


I can be almost 100% correct in saying that there are no irq,
dma, or other types of conflicts, as I have been running it for a
while with no problems.


Any help would be greatly appreciated, I am at my wits end on
this one.  

Please mail me if possible, as I don't always get a chance to
check net news.

Thanks,
