Hello again,
I've found this site where it tells me how to do multiple installations for configure. It tells me that I could just do this for version gcc2.95.2(I got the one you told me to get):
Code:
./configure --program-suffix=old
while trying to read the output from the ./configure it prompted me that I needed a library for teTeX. I went and downloaded teTeX and tried installing the program and it warned me that I needed the libraries so I got them also. It didnt have instructions with the libraries so I assume I should put them in the /usr/libs directory but I refuse for now. I also tried using the prefix option to install to another directory and that seemed to give the same output as the last however It looked like it tried installing. The ./configuring also did respond in a similar fashion like suffix.
I did some googleing also and found a bunch of hits. I'm reading them and also thinking of where else I could of gone wrong. I'm just discouraged now and tired at the same time. Would you mind helping me?
If its not too much trouble could you please list in order of which commands you issued? If not thats ok i'll try another time at this installation.
Anyway the site where I found these steps on my first hit is here:
http://gcc.gnu.org/faq.html#multiple
Also I attatched the output that I redirected to a .txt file in case you need to look at it
the attatched files have the prefix and program-suffix commands used. It explains on the link more.
thanks,
George
