PLEASE HELP!! Problems installing PRC-tools

Could some Linux guru please help me. I am trying to install PRC-Tools
on a Linux box that already has gcc 3.2.3 installed. However, every Web
site that I have visited and which talks of installing PRC-Tools also
talks of installing gcc from scratch. I was wondering how I could get
around this, given that I already have gcc installed. Could
someone please provide some pointers? Thanks in advance for your help.

Thats because PRC-Tools is apparently for Palm-OS and not for Linux.

No they are for compiling Palm Applications but they have a version of the
tools and the standard libs and such for linux, win32, cygwin and even a
generic unix

I quickly glanced through the
http://prc-tools.sourceforge.net/install/BUILDING.html , and it seems to
indicate that what is being built is a cross-compiler gcc (that is,
gcc running on Linux/Intel, and produces code for Palm systems. This
is far from any default gcc build a Linux system might have: they tend
to only generate code for the current OS/architecture.

Just follow the instructions (and build the version of gcc listed in the
instructions, by the instructions). Or, if you're running a rpm-based
distribution, the prc-tools homepage seems to provide a link to a rpm,
also there is a version for Debian Linux, if you're running on a Debian
variant.
