We just had our hosting provider build out a new RHEL 5 box for us to test some legacy stuff on:
uname -a: Linux myserver.foo.com 2.6.18-164.9.1.el5 #1 SMP Wed Dec 9 03:29:54 EST 2009 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux
cat /etc/redhat-release: Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.4 (Tikanga)
gcc -v: gcc version 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-46)
I m having a hell of a time figuring out how to get gcc-3.2.2 installed on this machine:
- I can t seem to compile 3.2.2 with the gcc 4.1.2 compiler
- I can t seem to find a 3.2.2 installation via yum
- I m afraid of what would happen if I rpm d it manually
Any advice?
EDIT: thanks for the suggestions so far, but just to clarify - the "legacy stuff" I mentioned isn t actually my company s legacy stuff. It s a 3rd party package and I don t have access to the code (and wouldn t want to change it even if I did)
I guess I ll look into the chroot thing, because at this point going back to a different RHEL seems heartbreaking.
