Hi all,

I've RedHat 7.1 and I wanted to upgrade binutils without using
rpms so I decided to get the source, and I configured and
compiled. Everything ok...
The I didn't really know if binutils would overwrite my oldest
binutils so I removed the binutils rpm that I had installed since
my redhat 7.1 installation. After removing them I did make
install and I got an error. It was not able to find ranlib (a
binutil).

So, now my question is: Binutils are vital for everything to work
smoothly. I'm not glad about not having binutils installed. How
can I install binutils without really having binutils installed. 
I really only need a way to installed since it's already
configured and compiled.
Maybe I could get a rpm but that's my ultimate choice since I'm
trying to avoid rpms.

Any ideas?

Best regards,
