I'm 99.9% certain that I was in gcc-4.7.1; It's a routine -- untar and then cd. Even if I forgot once (which is unlikely) I don't believe that I would have forgotten on all four occasions; I always double check everything. I've now attempted building gcc for the fifth time and it has built OK; this is really weird. I've trawled the web and noticed that others have had the same error message in MPC configure without finding a positive answer. Could it be a strange intermittent bug? I'm not trying to shift responsibility from my own actions, but I just can't see what I did differently the fifth time around. Thanks again. Richard
