Hi All

Problem solved.
The problem I believe was the change from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10.
After a lot of searching online and messing around. I decided to
re-install my whole tool chain, this opened another set of issues. But
also highlighted the fact that I was indeed missing most of the
mandatory dependency packages
to build.
See:- http://docs.blackfin.uclinux.org/doku.php?id=installing_linux,
http://forum.mcuprogramming.com/arm/gnu-arm-toolchain-installer/0/

After installing the dependencies binutils-2.19, gcc-4.3.2 (see
caveat), newlib-1.16.0, and insight-6.8 built successfully without any
errors.

Caveat:

When "make all install" command was invoked on gcc-4.3.2 It failed
about half way through the build process with the following message
"libc_name_p not found in except.c".
By googling I gathered that this object is a function defined in a
header file located in "../gcc-4.3.2/gcc/cp/cfns.h".
A quick inspection (ls) of my systems shows that the file exists.
However the failure persisted so I decided to open the file to
investigate a bit further, but to my greatest surprise the file
was empty.
So I re-download the gcc-4.3.2 from www.gnuarm.com and it built first
time.

The summary of this story is there is a possibility that the source
can be corrupted. I found out the hard way spend hours. Not suspecting
a corrupted source.

Can't find expat.h? What do you expect? He's probably in a Spanish bar
sobbing into his tequila about the state of his pension now credit has
crunched.

Nothing else matters once you see the actual error! One way or
another, you need to deal with expat.h My Ubunto 8.10 system has
libexpat1 installed. But it doesn't have expat.h. So, I'm not sure
that installing libexpat1 will be sufficient.

There may be something else wrong that is supposed to skip over
gdb_expat.h and thus the #include of expat.h.

I found the reference to libexpat1 via Google search for expat.h

Hi Richard,

I added --disable-werror to the configure command as advised but now I
get a different error. Shown below is the new error:-

I build my toolchain successfully about a month ago.
binutils-2.19, gcc-4.3.2 and newlib-1.16.0. I also built insight about
the same time and it was okay.

The only difference now is that I updated from ubuntu 8.04 to 8.10 so
I don't know if this has anything to do with the issue.

I might have to try and rebuilt my toolchain under ubuntu 8.10.

Thanks for your response.

You might try adding --disable-werror to the command line. This will
prevent warnings being treated as errors.

See message 4288 on the GNUARM group
http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/gnuarm/message/4288

I had to do this for binutils and insight when I built them last week.
