install gcc3.3 on SUSE 10.0


Hi,
I'm using SUSE 10.0 which has gcc 4.0.2 pre-installed. However, I need to install an old version gcc3.3 in order to build a software.
I've downloaded gcc-3.3.tar.bz2 from GNU website, but the make process failed during compilation? Does anyone have any idea why it is so?
I'm quite desperate, because I've tried to compile other versions like gcc-3.3.2, gcc-3.3.3, gcc-3.3.6 and they all failed...
Is there any way I could install gcc3.3 on my system?
Thanks in advance.

Hi afa_linux, Welcome to lq. What software are trying to install? Have you tried an rpm package of the software, Suse is an rpm based distro?
Good luck. ;-)

Re: install gcc3.3 on SUSE linux 10.0

Hi, Peacedog, I'm trying to compile and build a software for my research project. The software is not well-maintained and only gcc3.3 can successfully compile it. That's why I need to install gcc3.3 on my system, although my SUSE 10.0 already has gcc4.0.2 with it.
I've no idea why the gcc3.3 package I downloaded from GNU website failed to compile on my system...
Anyway, the ultimate goal is to install gcc3.3 on my system.
Another tricky thing is that a version of gcc is required to compile another version of gcc...
Thanks for your help

If there is no other option, you'll need to compile and install using a different prefix like /usr/gcc3.3 or something similar. You can find more info here.
Good luck. ;-)
