Hi,

I am facing a pbm regarding gcc.I am having linux 2.6 EL4 system.

Now system showing only gcc-2.95.3. If i try to reinstall gcc-3.4.3 agaain it is saying that gcc-3.4.3 already installed.How can i come back to gcc 3.4.3
again.

Have you tried uninstalling gcc-2.95.3? This would likely be the easiest method.

when iam doing
rpm -e gcc-2.95.3. message coming up as
package is not installed.
how can remove gcc-2.95.3

[bryansmith]

I take it you installed gcc 2 with an rpm. What does the following return:

rpm -qa gcc

As you said when running
#rpm -qa gcc.

giving gcc-3.4.3-9.EL4

if i try to erase it by
#rpm -e gcc-3.4.3-9.EL4

error: Failed dependencies:
gcc = 3.4.3-9.EL4 is needed by (installed) gcc-c++-3.4.3-9.EL4.i386

here what should i do.

earlier i compiled a char driver with gcc-3.4.3 before installing gcc-2.95.3.
Now if i compile it giving out following error message

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.9-5.EL/build M=/home/rajkumar/DEVICEDRIVERS/chardev modules
make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/kernels/2.6.9-5.EL-i686'

wht might be the pbm here.i think the driver code written for 2.6. is not compiling with gcc-2.95.3
