Yes, Imam, many times. I have had as many as four versions of gcc-x.y.z working in addition to the stock gcc that came with the distribution at the time. But I have to confess that I can't remember ever ever using the older versions. I have pretty good control over the software I use and haven't had many problems with old source not working with new gcc versions. (Now gcc 4.3 is a different story--that was a pain with some packages, including the Loki library.) I always try to have the latest gcc release on hand--mainly due to the better and better C++ handling (as well as FORTRAN). -Tom
