Compiling MPC-0.8.1

Question

Following the instructions posted here:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9450394/how-to-install-gcc-from-scratch-with-gmp-mpfr-mpc-elf

I installed GMP, MPFR, and ELF just fine, but while installing MPC with

./configure --disable-shared --enable-static --prefix=/apps/name/gcc  --with-gmp=/apps/name/gcc --with-mpfr=/apps/name/gcc
make

I get the following error:

Any Ideas how to fix it ? It seems like it is looking in the wrong directory.

EDIT: after following the instructions linked to by Jon, it errored out after 3hrs

virtual memory exhausted: Cannot allocate memory

any idea why?

The instructions you're following are not very good. See http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/InstallingGCC for the simplest approach to building GCC.
