I have LM 8.1 installed and am experiencing problems with the gcc 2.96 
compiler.

I tried using the 3.0.1 version that also says that it's installed (gcc 
-V 3.0.1 ...) but that gives an error, saying that it is incorrectly 
installed :-( (I didn't install it explicitly; it simply appeared when 
I first installed the system, but it seems that there's something not 
quite right with the default installation procedure.)

Since I can't use 3.0.1, and 2.96 is producing weird run-time crashes, 
I'd like to install the old 2.95.3 from my LM 7.2 distro.

Does anyone know _excatly_ how to do this without destroying 2.96?

I tried the simple "rpm -i gcc-c++-2.95.2-12mdk.i586.rpm" off the LM 
7.2 CD-ROM, but it complained that I needed gcc = 2.95.2 and gcc-cpp = 
2.95.2. But of course I already have gcc and gcc-cpp installed with 
higher version numbers than this. If I remove the newer versions, then 
I am stuck with old versions when I try to run the 2.96 compiler.

So how can I get the 2.95.3 (I dunno why the rpm says 2.95.2; the 
compiler reports itself as 2.95.3) and the 2.96 (and maybe even the 
3.0.1) to co-exist and be selectable through the "gcc -V" mechanism?

PS I thought about deleting everything and simply installing 3.1, but 
that seems like a big step. I'd much rather install a version that I 
know works (i.e., 2.95.3) and then add newer versions afterward.
