Re: Using a lower version of gcc

["Bill McEnaney" <bill at rkirkpat dot net>]

Vinayak,

Gcc's "-V" directive should tell your computer what gcc version to use.
 I think that to run version 3.2, you would type, "gcc -V 3.2" and other
directives, if any. Please omit the quotation marks when you type the
command.
