I think he meant to suggest getting the latest gcc *source* (not as an RPM), compile that and install it outside of the RPM system. Then you'll have two compilers.
Ah. Well, I have the other gcc compilers installed no problem (gccjava, g77, gnat, etc)
Sure. Those are "add-ons" to gcc, and they are all the same version. If you want to change the gcc *version*, you're going to have to change all those others too, plus some libraries (libstdc++ in particular) and any programs linked to those libraries. You can have different *versions* of gcc on the same system, but you have to be careful about conflicts.
Isn't gcc++ also an add on to gcc? If so, why are so many programs linked against it?
The other possibility is that there were gcc-3.1 RPMs for RH7.3 that were designed to play nicely with the gcc-2.96 ones that came with it. Maybe someone remembers where to find them.
I was pulling all my RPM's directly from ftp.redhat.com/pub/path/to/9.0/rpms
Maybe my memory is failing me, but I thought you started with a 7.x system
7.2 to be exact. ;) I've got several binaries from RH9 plugged in already (needed files from them, such as libmng, libpng, libjpg, all the dependencies for FreeCiv 1.14 (including glibc2.3)).
and wanted a gcc-3.2 compiler on it. Your alternatives are:
(1) Upgrade to RH9 (as we were discussing in the other thread).
Which I'm gonna do (BTW, someone has agreed to send me a copy of the RH9 cd's so I can upgrade via cd)
(2) Install gcc-3.2 and libraries in /usr/local (from source, without
using RPM).
I've tried that. Then I've removed the RPM's and I couldn't compile anything from source!
(3) Find the gcc-3.1 RPMs that were meant for installation on RH7.x.
They exist? I had gcc3 (and associated add-ons) installed, but they got removed when I installed gcc-3.2
