[SOLVED] install gcc-3.3.6 in addition to 4.5.2

[gilado]

On my older machine I have both gcc-4 and gcc-3 installed side by side.

On this new machine I only find gcc-4 and cannot find gcc-3 in synaptic ?

Is there some reason you want it?

Other than noting its absence, I am unsure what you are asking .....

I have code that won't compile under gcc-4. That's a common problem.

We used to have both n the repos.

I'm asking

1. Is there another repo I could get gcc-3  from?

2. Does any one know of rpms that will install and live side by side with gcc-4 ?

3. Does anyone have experience with building gcc-3 from source and installing it?

Solution:

- Install libstdc++5 and libstdc++5-devel (in synaptic)

- Google for
    gcc3.3-3.3.6-1pclos2007.i586.rpm
    gcc3.3-cpp-3.3.6-1pclos2007.i586.rpm
    gcc3.3-c++-3.3.6-1pclos2007.i586.rpm
I found them on rpm.pbone.net and downloaded from ftp.pbone.net

- Install the rpms

Now I can use gcc-3.3.6 and g++-3.3.6
