Thanks for all your feedback. Aaron Sterling was correct - I did not unpack the mpfr and gmp packages in the gcc directory. The book doesn't explicitly say this but then again it doesn't tell me to breath every few seconds or so either - lol. I will try to think things out a little better in the future before posting. The compile is going on now and while slow looks like it is going OK. Once again thanks for your help, M.
