gcc 3 and gcc 2.96
 

I'm using Redhat Linux 9. How do i uninstall gcc 3 and install gcc 2.96?? Would gcc 3 and gcc 2.96 be under the add/remover applications?? Please reply back. Thanks.

I think you can install the gcc 2.96 rpm without uninstalling gcc3, and it should work under the name gcc-2.96. Maybe it isn´t in the redhat cd but you can download it. Anyway, why do you need to install gcc2.96 having a newer version?

I need to uninstall gcc 3 and install gcc 2.96 so i can install my modem drivers. Can you tell me where i can download gcc 2.96 from? Can you give me instructions on how to install gcc 2.96? Thanks.

this one's from mandy but the only one i found
version 2.95 is available everywhere
http://gcc.gnu.org

but maybe u prefer a tar-gunzipped binary, just download and follow the INSTALL instructions.
cheers, jens

The best rpm browser I know is http://www.pbone.net/ ,there you can find a lot of RPMs for Redhat, Mandrake, etc...

I wouldn't uninstall gcc3, though. You could run into all sorts of problems trying to compile against gcc2 compiled libraries with gcc3 (I think this may be a problem with C++, anyway). It should be possible to have both compilers installed at one.

dsantamassino,

as others pointed out, I would not deinstall gcc3 but rather install gcc-2.95 in another directory, let's say /your/directory/bin/ and put this directory as the first one in your path.

export PATH=/your/directory/bin:$PATH

If needed you can make a link to gcc-2.95:

ln -s /your/directory/bin/gcc-2.95 /your/directory/bin/gcc

This way all the calls for gcc compiler will end up at gcc-2.95 and you still have gcc-3 at your hand if needed later.

Personally, I did have some problems with gcc-3 as trying to compile some VoIP software. gcc-2.95 seems to be the most stable compiler around and it has been widely tested and used. I would stay with 2.95-3 if there is no compelling need to take any other version.

There is a gcc 3.2 backwards compatible to gcc 2.96 rpm available at redhat network hope this helps
