I can't install gcc on OpenLogic CentOS!

Yeah, someone really dropped the ball here. If you see this when you try to yum install gcc:

--> Finished Dependency Resolution
Error: Package: glibc-headers-2.12-1.80.el6_3.7.x86_64 (updates)
           Requires: kernel-headers
Error: Package: glibc-headers-2.12-1.80.el6_3.7.x86_64 (updates)
           Requires: kernel-headers >= 2.2.1
 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

Then try doing this: sudo yum --disableexcludes=main install kernel-headers-*.el6.openlogic.x86_64

I don't know who's the idiot who put exclude=kernel* in /etc/yum.conf to break installing gcc, but...you're an idiot.

How to configure and make gcc with GRAPHITE

Done on a standard Debian installation with a sane toolchain installed.

1. Download and untar libgmp, configure with ./configure --enable-cxx, and install.
2. Download, untar, patch (according to their website), configure, and install libmpfr.
3. You know the drill by now: ppl.
4. apt-get install automake1.7 (for cloog-ppl)
5. Who said we were anywhere close to done? cloog-ppl. Its configure script is really picky, though; I had to explicitly use --with-gmp=dir and --with-ppl=dir.
6. Grab gcc-4.4.0, untar, and configure. These are the options I used (following Debian's gcc -v lead): $ ../gcc-4.4.0/configure --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran --prefix=/home/timdoug/local/ --enable-shared --with-system-zlib --without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --with-gmp=/home/timdoug/local/ --with-mpfr=/home/timdoug/local/ --enable-mpfr --with-ppl=/home/timdoug/local/ --with-cloog=/home/timdoug/local/ (note the different object directory!)
7. The configure script should spit out something like this, amongst its output:

   checking for correct version of gmp.h... yes
   checking for correct version of mpfr.h... yes
   checking for version 0.10 of PPL... yes
   checking for correct version of CLooG... yes

8. make, and grab a sandwich.
9. Curse profusely when it doesn't compile.

To be continued...
