Re: [opensuse] Downgrading gcc

It depends wat version of gcc you want. Generally, is not a good idea to
downgrade the compiler because the binaries from your system are compiled
with the gcc that comes with the system. So, if you downgrade the gcc you
could experience problems with the compatibility with current binaries.
First, you have to interest that binaries built with gcc 4.1 are comaptible
with binaries built with gcc 3.x. More about that you can find at
www.gentoo.org or gentoo official forum.

Hi guys,
I'd like to know if there's a way to downgrade gcc from 4.1 to 3.X.

I mean a manageable way, in the sense that I need not compile a new
gcc and remove the old one by hand.

thankx for the help!
