Problem in gcc installation

Hi Guys,

I'm trying to update my gcc from version 3.3.2 to 3.4.6, after downloading this on www.sunfreeware.com, upon installing i get an error.

Code:

bash-2.03# pkgadd -d gcc-3.4.6-sol8-sparc-local

The following packages are available:
  1  SMCgcc     gcc
                (sparc) 3.4.6

Select package(s) you wish to process (or 'all' to process
all packages). (default: all) [?,??,q]:

Processing package instance <SMCgcc> from </build/tmp/gcc-3.4.6-sol8-sparc-local>

gcc
(sparc) 3.4.6

Current administration requires that a unique instance of the
<SMCgcc> package be created.  However, the maximum number of
instances of the package which may be supported at one time on the
same system has already been met.

No changes were made to the system.

What does it mean? How do i install this package? and when i check the current version i see

[HTML]bash-2.03# gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.3.2

I suggest you try www.blastwave instead. And try also CBE for opensolaris. CBE has for instance Wine, vlc player, gcc 4.xxx, etc all ready packaged for download. The difference is that CBE downloads and automatically compiles for you, whereas blastwave is binary packages.

Try removing the old one and then installing the new one.

Yes, that is what the error message means.
You cannot install a package that is already installed, even with an older version.

You can remove the existing one with

Code:

# pkgrm SMCgcc
