Are you compiling gcc (the compiler) or libgcj (the runtime)? You must
first build the compiler with java support (--enable-languages=c++,java)
and probably thread support (--enable-threads). Make sure to use the
same --prefix for gcc and libgcj, and that the newly built compiler is
in your PATH before any other compilers (i.e. /usr/bin/gcc). What
platform are you using?
If you tell us the exact steps you've taken and the error output you're
getting, we should be able to pinpoint your problem.
