However there should be an older gcc package that you can install from your distro, or from a third party. For example if you're using debian or ubuntu you should be able to simply "apt-get install gcc-2.95" and be done with it. I don't know about other distros but there should be similar packages if you search. > Of my operating system with gcc-4.2 I am not able to compile gcc-2.95 > anymore.

If you want to build gcc 2.95 yourself from source then you will have to use at least one intermediate version, probably of the 3.4.x vintage. You may have to do this more than once, I don't know (e.g. build 3.4 with 4.2, build 3.3 with 3.4, build 2.95 with 3.3.) But again don't duplicate the work that your distro has already done, as debian for example has nice convenient packages for gcc-3.4 and gcc-3.3 that you can simply install. (But if you're using debian you can just install the gcc-2.95 package and skip all this so maybe that's not relevant.) Brian
