Hi I downloaded src of gcc 3.3.3 and tried to compile in RHEL 5 with the existing gcc 4.1.2. Got following error [root@localhost gcc-3.3.3-src]# pwd /home/nikole/gccmy/gcc-3.3.3-src [root@localhost gcc-3.3.3-src]# which gcc /usr/bin/which: no gcc in (/usr/kerberos/sbin:/usr/kerberos/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/home/nikole/bin:.)

[root@localhost gcc-3.3.3-src]# I cant use 'yum' as it fails [root@localhost gcc-3.3.3-src]# yum install gcc Loaded plugins: rhnplugin, security This system is not registered with RHN. RHN support will be disabled. Setting up Install Process No package gcc available. Nothing to do [root@localhost gcc-3.3.3-src]# Can anyone please suggect correct steps. Regards
Resolved Hi All, Thanks for your time for reply I resolved the issue in following way Login as root First register ur system with RHN as root , use rhn_register command. You need to register if you want to use yum. Then yum install compat-gcc-34.i386 compat-gcc-34-c++.i386 compat-glibc.i386 compat-libstdc++-33.i386 this will install /usr/bin/gcc34 , i.e gcc 3.4.6 version then use this gcc34 to compile gcc3.3.3 export CC=/usr/bin/gcc34 rm config.cache ./configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc333 make make install this will install gcc 3.3.3 in /usr/bin/gcc333 then use this gcc333 to compile src of gcc 3.3.3 Regards
