RE: Compiles but....

[lrtaylor at micron dot com]

Also, if you're on Linux, and 2.95.3 is your system compiler, then you probably DON'T want to get rid of it, because you may need it again.  C++ binaries produced with GCC 3.3 are not compatible with GCC 2.95.3.  However, you can set your PATH as described before so that you pick up GCC 3.3 by default.  A better solution might be to install it into a standard path, but name it slightly differently.  For example, rather than naming it just "gcc", etc., you could name it "gcc3".  That way, you can keep both compilers around and have access to both of them.

Thanks,

If you want to.. might come out a little tricky in the sense
that do not remove files that may be shared with other programs..

try
        rpm -qa | gre gcc
(assuming Linux..??)
then remove each one using
        rpm -e <rpm-to-remove>
or
        Just leave it alone..
