I’m attempting to install GCC 4.5.1 on my Apache server, but it says there is no acceptable C compiler found in $PATH. Any suggestions on what to do would be greatly appreciated.
When I use echo $PATH it prints:
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/:/var/lib/:/usr/share/
These are the commands I used to configure GCC:
sudo mkdir /usr/bin/gcc/
cd /usr/bin/gcc/
sudo /gcc-4.5.1/configure
These are the results of those commands:

The file config.log contains:

Are you trying to build gcc from source ? Then you need a compiler to compile it.. (that’s a Catch 22…).
Can’t you install a binary package with the compiler already compiled ?
