Hi Matthew I hope you don't mind me taking this off list - I think it's a bit off topic.
I had a need to do this the other day. So I installed 2.95.3 from a tarball and installed it under /usr/local However the code I am trying to compile (Orbacus Notify) still does not compile. I made sure the 2.95 gcc/c++ is the one being used, as well as put a number of directories in my LD_LIBRARY_PATH - /usr/local/lib:/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib:/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu:/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.3 Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? The code I am trying to compile *should* compile with this compiler thanks charles On Fri, 2001-12-21 at 11:46, Matthew Saltzman wrote: > On Mon, 17 Dec 2001, Daniel BI wrote: > > > Hi all! > > > > Cold anyone tell me how to downgrade the gcc 2.96 compiler > > under linux red hat 7.2 to 2.95 ? > > The short answer is: Don't. > > The longer answer is: Fix your code first.
