主题：【Question】gcc installation on linux -- 觉昌安塔克世

Sorry folks, I can't type Chinese right now.

I've been a Unix user for,god knows how many years,

but have never been a system manager. I installed

Linspire Linux on one of my home PCs two days ago. And

boy,do I have problems!

I have downloaded a pre-compiled gcc package,and have

unpacked it in a directory.(The unpacked stuff has the usual "bin","lib",etc.) I then

tried to compile a "Hello world" type program with the

g-plus-plus executable, and bang! --an error message was

thrown at my face, saying it could not find

"libc.so.6".

I know that this must have been caused by some

environmental variables that were not specified

correctly, but what are they? I find no documentation

on how and what to specify in the downloaded package.

And a search over the internet didn't yield anything

useful,either.

I guess that,basically,I have two questions:

(1) What environmental variables do I need to specify?

(2) Do I have to unpack the package in the "standard"

places such as "/usr/local/..."? (Right now,

everything is in some "non-standard" directory I have

created.)

I would be very grateful if anyone could give me some

tips.Thanks in advance, and Happy New Year!
