I am not having any luck installing GCC v2.4.3 from CDROM.  I am on a
Sun SPARCstation IPX and have been trying to compile gcc from CDROM in
a seperate directory /usr/local/gcc_build.  I carefully go through the
steps in the book "Using and Porting GNU CC" and, get through configure
(using default directories) and make OK but run into problems with
installation.

(1)     The first problem I run into is with making/installing of the
"info" files.  I have makeinfo but it seems to be trying to write the
info file to the CDROM because I get a "readonly file system" error
message.  I am using GNU make.

(2)     After a "make install ..." I have nothing in the include
directory!  I am not sure what the fixincludes was doing but it didn't
put anything in /usr/local/include.  The include files for Sun's cc are
found in /usr/include and the include files for Sun's CC are found in
/home/C++/SC1.0/CC.  What do I specify, if anything, when configure'ing
or make'ing so that installation occurs correctly.

(3)     Finally (for now), when I try to debug a program compiled with
gcc in Sun's dbxtool, I get a message telling me it can't find
/cdrom1/gcc-2.4.3/libgcc2.c which is the CDROM mounted directory.
(Most likely because I didn't have the CDROM mounted at the time!)

I'd appreciate it if you would help me.  I would love to use gcc (g++)
instead of CC, especially since we spent $400 for it (and a lot of
other neat stuff!).  However, I am about to give it up for a while and
just use CC.

Please help me not use CC, thanks!
