Could anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong here? I'm still using suse 7.2 and recently I tried installing an application that I think needs a more recent library that comes with the c compiler. So, I got gcc-3.2.tar.gz, putting it into /root/downloads/gcc uncompressing it created: /root/downloads/gcc/gcc-3.2 I made /root/downloads/gcc/objdir and from there did /root/downloads/gcc/gcc-3.2/configure followed by make bootstrap It took almost 12 hours to compile! Then I did make install Now, gcc -v is reporting different versions, depending who I am! If I log on as root, gcc -v reports 3.2 If I log on as an ordinary user and then su to root, gcc -v reports 2.95.3 , reading specs from a different place. Could anyone advise? thanks Richard -- richard@tortoise.demon.co.uk
