Seems to be some inconsistencies in the packaging then. A 3.0.1 RPM shouldn't comtain a 3.0.2 compiler. The RHL 7.2/IA-64 system I am using has a gcc3 compiler that identifies itself as 3.0.4-1. I don't know what RPM that came from as rpm isn't being cooperative. In any case, gcc 3.0 really isn't very interesting. >http://ftp.dulug.duke.edu/pub/redhat/linux/rawhide/ia64/RedHat/RPMS/gcc-3.1-6.ia64.rpm >and tried to install with rpm command.

I know that they sometimes change rpm in non-backwards compatible ways which make it difficult to use stuff from rawhide, but that doesn't really help you. >Is there a clean way to do that for an unexperimented gcc user, in >particular, can we have a gcc3.1 like installation that allows keeping >the gcc2.96 ? I don't know much about how the RPM stuff works. That is the OS side of Red Hat, not the tools side of Red Hat. I'd suggest trying something like ftp://gcc.gnu.org/pub/gcc/releases/gcc-3.1/gcc-3.1.tar.bz2 It shouldn't be too hard to build and install this. If this doesn't build the kernel OK, it will be fixed.
