Hmm... Let me see if I'm guessing correct here...
You have no compiler, so you just went to the gcc homepage, and downloaded the
source. In the INSTALL file it says to run ./configure and make, so you did. But
it didn't work. Right?
Well, in order to compile _any_ sourcecode, you need a compiler. So in order to
compile a compiler you need... a compiler. Sort of chicken & egg problem. First
compilers were fairly basic and written in assembler (direct machine code).
Fortunately for you, however, the gcc package comes precompiled on your mandrake
CD. I don't know what it's called, but something in the order of "make" should
do, I believe.
Good luck installing.
