I am in the process of installing CentOS 5.1. The gcc that came with it is...

received errors with the newer version that came with CentOS 5.1.
Newer versions of gcc are more strict with regard to language
standards, particularly when writing in C++.
I'm quite new to this and I'm unsure what to do. If i need to install the
gcc-3.2.3-47 version I'm not sure how to do this and if I can have both
versions on the server?
You can download gcc 3.2 from ftp://ftp.gnu.org/ and build it
yourself. I don't know if the package from the older version of
CentOS would run on the newer version. You'd have to ask somebody who
works with CentOS.
I have compiled gcc-3.2.3 on centos 4.x easily. Erlier version sof 3.2
did not compile. I also managed to compile libgc-2.3.
Of course under a different prefix.

You could also consider fixing your code to be more standards
conformant.
