Hi, I was trying to install gcc-3.2.3 on RHEL- 4 64 bit machine. While compiling it gives multiple errors. I was unable to go forward with the install. But I was able to install the same on RHEL-4 32 bit machine. (I have downloaded gcc from the site ftp://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/misc/gcc/releases/gcc-3.2.3/) Can you please advise me how to do the installation?
