BUT even after removing the gcc packages, I can still type "g++ -v" and get back the response that the version is a 2.95.x version. So I guess I have a very basic question. How do I eradicate all trace off gcc from my system (so that I can then install the LM 9.0 gcc 3.2 rpms). Iy's obvious that MCC isn't doing the job for me, so how can I remove the files manually? I looked at a bunch of places on the GNU site, but didn't find anything that helped. I could (obviously) remove the g++ binary, but then I am sure that I would be leaving lots of other files that could cause me trouble later. I want to completely eliminate gcc so that I can then be sure that there aren't any old files hanging around when I do the gcc 3.2 installation.
