[TriLUG] gcc switch hitting

[Heath Holcomb]

I don't know exactly how Mandrake lays the compilers out, but if you 
change your path so that the gcc 2.96 executable is in your path before 
the link, configure should pick it up and use it. E.g.

export PATH=/usr/local/gcc-2.96/bin:${PATH}

If the executable is named something other than gcc, you may have to do 
some more tweaking.

I usually compile gcc 2.95.3 and install it in it's own directory under 
/usr/local. It's not difficult to compile and will not touch the rest of 
your system.

Hope this helps,

Heath
