I am trying to upgrade my gcc compiler but I have a problem locating the previous versions rpm. Sometime during the past two years I installed my c++ library, but I cannot remember how I did it. I know that I'm currently running version Reading specs from: /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i386-redhat-linux/3.2.2/specs. I found a newer version on ftp://ftp.thewrittenword.com/packages/by-name/gcc-3.3.2/i686-redhat-linux9/gcc-3.3.2.rpm4.tar.Z but I cannot understand why this rpm4 what is tar.Z and ultimately can I use this rpm to upgrade my current version given that I seem not to have the current version's rpm? One final question while I'm at this, what's the difference between glibc and gcc libraries?
