I have some application that can go under gcc-2.95.2, RD Linux 6.1. However I have installed RD 7.0 with
gcc-2.96-40 because I have this RH on my CD. Now I am trying to install gcc-2.95.2 from source. Till now my success=0. Rh 7.0 with gcc-2.96 does not want to compile the gcc-2.95.2. Maybe I do something wrong. May
anybody help me?

I have typed

'/usr/local/src/gcc-2.95.2/configure --prefix=/usr/loca/gcc/ --enable-languages=c++ i386-ps-Linux'

It seams that this phase was OK.

Then I typed

'gmake bootstrap'

In every of the three stages of building gcc there were the same three errors

1)
gcc -DIN_GCC -g -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I/usr/local/src/gcc-2.95.2/gcc -I/usr/local/src/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/config -I/usr/local/src/gcc-2.95.2/gcc/../include \

Then the same at stage1 and once more at stage2.




And then in the end:

May anybody tell me what to do?

Can I find somewhere compiled gcc-2.95.2 (rpm or something else).

Thank you,

Can't help with your current strategy but maybe consider another one:

Get the rpm for the gcc version you want and

$ rpm -i --test gcc.rpm

to get whatever dependencies might be needed.

When you have different versions of gcc installed, you can switch between them with

# update-alternatives --config gcc

Good luck.

May anybody tell me where I can find gcc-2.95.2.rpm.

I have found RH Linux 6.2 on ftp.redhat.com. There are rpm files for RH Linux 6.2, however there are not gcc-2.95.2 among them.

Maybe Linux 6.2 can work without gcc at all. Then how it can compile c++ programs?

Over at rpmfind.net (remember this site):

http://rpmfind.net/linux/rpm2html/se...ery=gcc-2.95.2

I found a link to a Mandrake rpm that also links to the src.rpm. Can't advise whether either of these would work for you. Maybe you could # rpm --rebuild the source.rpm? If you do, # rpm --checksig the gcc.src.rpm. In Mandrake, anyway, this will check the gpg signature (I think you have to install a gpg key from the packager) and md5sum. I think it will tell you about the md5sum whether or not you have the gpg key installed.

Good luck.

Now I know that I should not install gcc-2.95.2 because RH Linux 7.0 has egcs-1.1.2 and all what goes with it.

For me egcs-1.1.2 occurred to be as good as gcc-2.95.2 because command egcs++ compiles Geant4 quite well.

I suspect that for other people, that are struggling with gcc-2.96 on RH Linux 7.0 like me, this may be acceptable solution of their problems.
