[SOLVED] GCC 4.6.3 fail to install Debian

Issue

I'm having trouble installing gcc 4.6.3 on Debian squeeze. 4.4 is currently installed but I need 4.6.x to run php-hiphop. I've tried looking for similar problems but haven't found any with the error I have.

I install using these instructions:

wget ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gcc/gcc-4.6.3/gcc-4.6.3.tar.gz
tar -xzvf gcc-4.6.3.tar.gz
cd gcc-4.6.3
./contrib/download_prerequisites
cd ..
mkdir objdir
cd objdir
£PWD/../gcc-4.6.3/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc-4.6.3
make
make install

on the make command everything seems to be going fine for a good 20 or more minutes then, BLAMO! This pops up:

I see what's causing it, stubs.h cannot be found, but how do I fix this? Is there a separate library I need, or has something else gone wrong? Thanks in advance.

EDIT downloading the multilib dependencies sorted out the above error. The make command ran for a good 5 hours, yes 5 hours, or so and then came crashing down with another error to do with zips and jars and I'm stumped.

Solution

I think you need multilib support, because you are trying to install 32 bits libraries in a 64 bit machine.
