Yes, but understand that with package name splits, different names for "provides," etc. across version boundaries, you may need to make some tweaks to the spec file to account for that. I would tend to use the source RPM spec file from a SLES9 package, and just update it with different source file names and actual configuration options. That's usually less trouble. > Also can two versions of gcc exist on one system, if yes then how do i setup > include, link and lib paths? They can, but I've not done it using RPM, so I can't help much here. I have to say, though, spending an awful lot of time on platform that is going EOL "relatively soon" probably isn't something I would do.
