A lot depends on your install method. If you are using a Package Manager you can specify the target directory. If you are installing 'manually from source', most makefiles tend to permit an alt target instead of the default.

Either way, you want to put this gcc into a seperate directory (frequently /usr/local) from your gcc 3.x and you want to ensure the associated libraries do not overlay the regular ones.

If you want to dig into this a bit more, you can go to SuSE's web site (http:/www.suse.com) and wander into the 'Business Products > Software Certifications > Oracle > Support Matrix' area and look at the supprting docco. Some of the docs discuss this in more detail. Received on Mon Sep 22 2003 - 08:38:05 CDT
