6. Install GCC 2.9 Compat libraries

6.1. Install GCC 2.96 Compat packages

From Fedora Core TWO:

• compat-libstdc++-7.3-2.96.126.i386.rpm

• compat-libstdc++-devel-7.3-2.96.126.i386.rpm

• compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.126.i386.rpm

• compat-gcc-c++-7.3-2.96.126.i386.rpm

	Don't overwrite existing packages
	Make sure that you keep your existing GCC installation, or a large part of your software will not work or can not be compiled any more. In case these packages are already installed on your system with newer version numbers, use [StackOverflow: Ansible] .:: gmtti.edu ::. rpm -i --force to install the older ones next to the newer ones.

From the Fedora Core THREE subtree, get the compat-db package.

If you don't install GCC compat libraries as above you get a zillion linking errors. .:: chodilinh.com ::. .:: telegra.ph ::. .:: postheaven.net ::. .:: sp.ucn.edu.co ::. .:: heavenarticle.com ::.

6.2. Create symbolic links

Put gcc296 and g++296 first in your $PATH variable by creating the following symbolic links: [Wiki: Flask] .:: p.mobile9.com ::.

# mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc323
# mv /usr/bin/g++ /usr/bin/g++323
# ln -s /usr/bin/gcc296 /usr/bin/gcc
# ln -s /usr/bin/g++296 /usr/bin/g++

Note that should you already have upgraded your system, GCC versions might be different.
