# Installing GCC: Final installation

Now that GCC has been built (and optionally tested), you can install it with

    cd objdir; make install

That step completes the installation of GCC; user level binaries can be found in `prefix/bin` where prefix is the value you specified with the `--prefix` to configure (or `/usr/local` by default). (If you specified `--bindir`, that directory will be used instead; otherwise, if you specified `--exec-prefix`, `exec-prefix/bin` will be used.) Headers for the C++ and Java libraries are installed in `prefix/include`; libraries in `libdir` (normally `prefix/lib`); internal parts of the compiler in `libdir/gcc-lib`; documentation in info format in `infodir` (normally `prefix/info`).

If you don't mind, please quickly review the 3.0 build status page. If your system is not listed, send a note to gcc@gcc.gnu.org indicating that you successfully built and installed GCC.

Include the output from running `srcdir/config.guess`. (Do not send us the `config.guess` file itself, just the one-line output from running it!) Also specify which version you built. If the build was for GNU/Linux, also include the distribution name and version (e.g., Red Hat 7.1 or Debian 2.2.3, available from `/etc/issue`) and the version of glibc you used; for RPM-based systems like Red Hat, Mandrake, and SuSE type `rpm -q glibc` to get the glibc version, and on systems like Debian and Progeny use `dpkg -l libc6`.

We'd also like to know if the host/target specific installation notes didn't include your host/target information or if that information is incomplete or out of date. Send a note to gcc@gcc.gnu.org telling us how the information should be changed.

If you find a bug, please report it following our bug reporting guidelines.

If you want to print the GCC manuals, do `cd objdir; make dvi`. You will need to have `texi2dvi` (version at least 4.0) and TeX installed. This creates a number of `.dvi` files in subdirectories of `objdir`; these may be converted for printing with programs such as `dvips`. You can also buy printed manuals from the Free Software Foundation, though such manuals may not be for the most recent version of GCC.
