I need to compile a program in GCC 3, however i currently have GCC2 installed(e.g typing "gcc" will run the gcc2 gcc)
I'd rather still keep GCC 2, but i want GCC 3 to be the default compiler used to compile my programs.
How would i go about doing this? Are there any HOWTO's on the net about doing this?
Thanks for your help.
Assuming you've installed gcc3 in /opt/gcc3, just put /opt/gcc3/bin first in your PATH and /opt/gcc3/lib in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. For your user, put export PATH=/opt/gcc3/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/gcc3/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH in your .bashrc or corresponding file if you use another shell. If you have access to the root account you could put /opt/gcc3/lib in /etc/ld.so.conf, run ldconfig and forget about the LD_LIBRARY_PATH //Anders -- 'Deserves [death]. I daresay he does.
