Problem with installing gcc-4.3.3

[runningpig001]

Hi,

I want to run a fortran program with my laptop. Should I install gcc first?

I downloaded the gcc-4.3.3 package and extracted it.

Following the instructions in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware

I finished the background part.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Then I ran: ./configure
result:

checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu

configure: error: Building GCC requires GMP 4.1+ and MPFR 2.3.0+.
Try the --with-gmp and/or --with-mpfr options to specify their locations.
Copies of these libraries' source code can be found at their respective
hosting sites as well as at ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/infrastructure/.
See also http://gcc.gnu.org/install/prerequisites.html for additional info.
If you obtained GMP and/or MPFR from a vendor distribution package, make
sure that you have installed both the libraries and the header files.
They may be located in separate packages.

%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
then I ran: make
result:

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.


so, what is problem? Any suggestion is really appreciated!!!

You don't need to compile anything.

If you're just running the Fortran program, you might not need to do anything at all.

If it's not working, try installing the gfortran package through Synaptic.
