I am trying to install GCC 4.6.3 on Fedora 18.

I was following the instructions provided by Lars Rohrbach. When I run make, I get the error 

/usr/include/gnu/stubs.h:7:27: fatal error: gnu/stubs-32.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.

I read online that this is because of a missing library glibc, however glibc already is installed on my computer. 

yum install glibc
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Package glibc-2.16-28.fc18.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

(Earlier I was experiencing a similar error when installing a program that required zlib and zlib also already exists.)

Can someone please help me successfully install gcc 4.6.3? Thank you.

Why do you need the older version of GCC? – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Jan 17 at 19:53

Also, glib != glibc. – Ignacio Vazquez-Abrams Jan 17 at 19:53
Looks like you're missing a 32-bit header. I think you want the package glibc-devel.i686. – Renan Jan 17 at 20:26
Sorry, I meant glibc. I need an older version of gcc to build code.google.com/p/ibamr I have existing code that works only with gcc 4.6.3. – namu Jan 17 at 23:22
Better port the code forward. – vonbrand Jan 24 at 23:19

From this answer at Stack Overflow:

You're missing the 32 bit libc dev package:

On Red Hat distros, the package name is glibc-devel.i686.

Probably in Fedora it's the same package name. This also confirms this:

[root at prophead ~]# rpm --qf %{NAME}-%{ARCH}\\n -qf /usr/include/gnu/stubs-64.h
glibc-devel-x86_64
[root at prophead ~]# rpm --qf %{NAME}-%{ARCH}\\n -qf /usr/include/gnu/stubs-32.h
glibc-devel-i686
