How to install gcc-4.3.2

[antony]

Hi,

I am trying to install gcc-4.3.2. I have downloded the file gcc-g++-4.3.2.tar.gz. I have extracted the file. It consists 2 folder gcc and libstdc++-v3, But i couldn't find the file for gcc command.

Anybody can suggest me where it is available.

It has "install" folder also. It consists install-sh. I could not execute this shell script.


I am not sure about installation steps in linux.

Please help me to install GCC4.3.2 in linux.

Most distros now will come with a package management system that will download and install a pre-compiled binary for you.

e.g SuSe has YAST (Under Computer Menu it's called "Install Software"). Debian has apt-get and Ubuntu has it's own one.

I wouldn't recommend downloading and compiling from source. Given your question your experience in *nix seems very limited.
