Doesn't your Linux distribution supply packages for the various 
prerequisites? You shouldn't have to build them all manually from source 
(the only case where this might be necessary is where the version of the 
distribution-supplied package is older than that required for the GCC 
install - but this is unlikely if you have a reasonably up-to-date Linux 
distribution).
