download gcc-3.3.tar.gz in gcc.gnu.org web site
how do install gcc-3.3.tar.gz??

If you really want to compile that, goto the LFS site for more explenation, or simply find yourself an rpm on rpmfind.net

when install rpm file..
gcc word include rpm files writed.
gcc-3.2.2-5.i386.rpm, gcc-c++-3.2.2-5.i386.rpm, gcc-g77-3.2.2-5.i386.rpm, gcc-gnat-3.2.2-5.i386.rpm, gcc-objc-3.2.2-5.i386.rpm
the above all rpm file to install right??

that looks good to me

but, it's fun compiling a compiler, and if you put it
somewhere other than /usr, like just taking the default
of /usr/local, you can use either one. gcc comes with
java too.

I'm having trouble installing gcc on a Suse system myself. Suse is what my employer likes to use (unfortunately for me), so I am totally lost. I'm used to Gentoo and compiling everything from source. This Suse install doesn't even have GCC installed! If I do try to install the GCC rpm, I get this:

# rpm -ivh gcc-3.2-7.i386.rpm
error: failed dependencies:
cpp = 3.2-7 is needed by gcc-3.2-7
binutils >= 2.12.90.0.7-1 is needed by gcc-3.2-7
glibc-devel >= 2.2.90-12 is needed by gcc-3.2-7
libgcc >= 3.2-7 is needed by gcc-3.2-7
/sbin/install-info is needed by gcc-3.2-7
rpmlib(PartialHardlinkSets) <= 4.0.4-1 is needed by gcc-3.2-7

it looks like none of the development stuff is installed.
try yast or yast2 instead for installing packages or
kpackage, and maybe it'll install all the other stuff you need.

Really? Cool! So if one downloads the java binaries, can they simply copy gcc from the bin directory in java to /usr/bin and use that 'as-is'?

Cool

i'm sorry master C, i can't really remember now.
i would swear i remember compiling gcc and it compiling
java. well, not really swear, but i could cuss about it, if
you needed me too.

this is the libjava directory in the gcc source.

That's cool, it will give me something to check out later on.

Thanks!
