Greetings, I am in the need to understand how to compile and link to a different version of gcc. Background - we have a server with old slack distro running egcs 1.12 (Don't ask long story) there are some apps and support libs that are needed to run, ./configure bombs with the current version we are running, I have tested these needed libs and apps on a recent version and ./configure make work just fine. I have followed the FAQ and some mailing list suggestions on compiling and installing a different versions now I have no idea how I can get them into my envirement so ./configure will use the new version of gcc. Suggestions and directions are welcomed. Thank you Jim
