[NTLUG:Discuss] New gcc how-to

[Geremy L. Hamlett]

OK, I am running a RedHat 7.3 box w/ gcc 2.96.  I would like to upgrade my 
gcc to the new 3.2.  However, for what ever reason I do not want to use 
the rpms.  RedHat installs their gcc in a diffrent place than the default 
gcc souce install.  I have read that people install the second and just 
leave the two gcc's on their system.  This sounds redundant to me and I 
don't want two gcc's.  

First Question:  Can I just use the default install of gcc-3.2
Second Qustion: after the gcc-3.2 source install, can I remove the 
		gcc-2.69 rpms

I know gcc is not something you really want to mess with unless you know 
what you are doing.

I have not been able to find any documentation on the internet on how to 
replace the 2.96 w/ anoter version. I know it has been done, 

Has anybody in the NTLUG done this?


thanks,
