In attempting to upgrade my gcc compiler from 4.2.0 to 4.2.4 it appears I´ve broken it.

To upgrade it I ran the command:

rpm -Uvh gcc-4.2.4-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

When I do a gcc -v the upgrade appears successful. However, when try to use the compiler I get the following error:

configure: loading cache ./config.cache
checking for gcc... /opt/freeware/bin/gcc -maix64
checking for C compiler default output file name... configure: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

Help!!!!

Looking at my log file I´ve found the problem:

gcc: error trying to exec 'cc1': execvp: No such file or directory
configure:1810: $? = 1
configure: failed program was:
| /* confdefs.h. */
Anyone know how to resolve this???

Well I managed to get the gcc compiler working. For those who are interested you need to install the following rpms to get gcc working:

gcc-4.2.4-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
libgcc-4.2.4-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
gcc-c++-4.2.4-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
libstdc++-4.2.4-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
libstdc++-devel-4.2.4-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
gcc-cpp-4.2.4-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm
gmp-4.3.1-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
mpfr-2.4.1-1.aix5.1.ppc.rpm
gcc-gfortran-4.2.4-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm

Luckily they can all be found on the following website (big thank you to the guy who runs it):

I was having the same issue, then came across this thread. I installed all rpms listed by Paul and voila! My C Compiler was now working! I was then able to install ruby from source! Thanks for the tips.
