Hi,

to use the old compilers without major hassle on your RedHat
8 installation, you can get the following packages:

 compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.110
 compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.110
 compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.110
 compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.110

I found those on CD2 of the 3 CD set.

They can be installed alongside the default compiler (3.2-7)

The binaries are called gcc296 and g++296. I haven't tried
compiling plex86 with them but have used them to compile
some old embedded stuff for x86.

Sorry if I have created the impression that my system is
unstable. Of course I have created a tar with all libraries
BEFORE deleting the lot - the original files are already
back in place.

Anyway, I will try your suggestion and exchange gcc 3.2 with
gcc-2.96 (there is a slight chance a connection to the
Redhat ftp server becomes available today)

All rpm's which had the word "gcc" in them are already
removed and I will replace them with the 2.96 versions (hope
there are no additional problems) On a sidenote, GNU has
recently released gcc 3.2.1, it doesn't work does it? I like
"bleeding edge" software it feels all clean, new and nice :)

Thanks for your time and response.
