[Captainhero]

hello!
this is my first experience in ubuntu. I'd like to istall the compiler gcc, i followed this guide
http://solarianprogrammer.com/2012/04/13/building-gcc-4-7-on-ubuntu-12-04/ and in the step where i have to compile the gcc i get an error and i don't know what i have to do.

this is a screen of the error http://ubuntuforums.org/<a href=&quot;<a href=http://tinypic.com?ref=i1jqro&quot; target=_blank>http://tinypic.com?ref=i1jqro&quot;</a> target=&quot;_blank&quot;><img src=&quot;<a href=http://i48.tinypic.com/i1jqro.png&quot; target=_blank>http://i48.tinypic.com/i1jqro.png&quot;</a> border=&quot;0&quot; alt=&quot;Image and video hosting by TinyPic&quot;></a>http://i48.tinypic.com/i1jqro.png (http://ubuntuforums.org/<a href=)">

Do you already have gcc installed? You can't build gcc unless you have gcc.


gcc --version

Does 4.7 have features that you really need that the repository version doesn't?
