Hi,
I would like (need) to install gcc 3.2 or greater on Red Hat 7.3 while
leaving the default compiler (gcc 2.96) and its libraries in place. I am
relatively new to GNU/Linux but I know that other people have managed
this before. I have spent the last week or so trying with what I believe
to be suitable RPMs and source RPMs that I have found while searching
the Web. Unfortunately the RPMs want to install files that conflict with
files belonging to gcc 2.96, and the source RPMs I have found won't
build. An example error message would be:
RPM build error.
Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp 83330
I would be very greatful for any help in solving these problems. I
should probably add that what I know about RPM has been learnt in the
last week so I may not be using it correctly.
Regards,
Jonathan
