Hi; Forgive these newbie questions, but I *really* want to install Mailman!!! I tried the GCC list but my questions weren’t answered. For the record, I own my own server and it runs RedHat 6.2 (and I’m really not as dumb as these questions may make me appear :) There they have the following installation instructions. My questions are embedded:

...

...

Like most GNU software, GCC must be configured before it can be built. This document describes the recommended configuration procedure for both native and cross targets. <<< I’m not developing software: I only want to install Mailman. Is this considered *native* or *cross-target*?

...

We use srcdir to refer to the toplevel source directory for GCC; we use objdir to refer to the toplevel build/object directory. <<< What is *toplevel source directory* and *toplevel build/object directory*? Can you give me an example?

...

First, we highly recommend that GCC be built into a separate directory than the sources which does not reside within the source tree. This is how we generally build GCC; building where srcdir == objdir should still work, but doesn't get extensive testing; building where objdir is a subdirectory of srcdir is unsupported. <<< What does this mean? Can you give me an example?

...

Second, when configuring a native system, either "cc" or "gcc" must be in your path or you must set CC in your environment before running configure. Otherwise the configuration scripts may fail. <<< What does this mean? Can you give an example? TIA, BenO
