I've read pages and pages, but now I'm stuck. I need to use g++ 3.41 for my intro CS class, I realize I need to use "gcc_select 3.41" to change the compiler my machine uses, but after that I'm stuck. I downloaded gcc-3.4.1.tar.gz and expanded it, then tried things like ".configure" and "make bootstrap" and I think (?) I compiled it - it took an hour or so and I now have a folder "gcc" on my desktop with a ton of files in it (none seem to be the ones I need). But when I try to use "gcc_select 3.41" I get this:

The following is missing from your gcc 3.41 compiler installation.
Reinstall the 3.41 compiler, or use another release.
/usr/bin/gcc-3.41
/usr/bin/g++-3.41
/usr/include/gcc/darwin/3.41/assert.h
/usr/include/gcc/darwin/3.41/float.h
/usr/include/gcc/darwin/3.41/inttypes.h
/usr/include/gcc/darwin/3.41/stdarg.h
/usr/include/gcc/darwin/3.41/stdbool.h
/usr/include/gcc/darwin/3.41/stdint.h
/usr/include/gcc/darwin/3.41/varargs.h
/usr/libexec/gcc/darwin/ppc/3.41/
/usr/lib/gcc/darwin/3.41/
/usr/include/gcc/darwin/3.41/

Anyone know how install the necessary files? This seems so complicated. The GNU help pages seem to contain the necessary info, but I can't figure it out. Anyone?

Why do you need gcc 3.4.1?

and really...if you have to ask....

I've never tried compiling GCC myself, but doesn't it have a make install target? It seems like it should.

If I recall, it even bootstraps itself.
