Doug,
About 4 years ago I was working on a Solaris box without root. I needed
GCC, and Solaris didn't have anything installed.
Turns out you just get the GCC source distribution. GCC then
goes through a three step bootstrap process where it builds successively
more complete versions of itself. I then used the compiler to build
the whole apache, php, postgresql, stack with all the needed libraries.
Are you sure the Distribution media doesn't have GCC3 on it as an
option, however ? I would be surprised if the DVD didn't have it.

Quoting Doug Crompton <doug@crompton.com>:
I am using SUSE 10 which uses gcc4. It complains of errors in compiling
code which in the past would have been warnings. In order to compile some
older code which has not been updated to use gcc4 I would like to install
an older copy (gcc3) on the system and also retain gcc4.
My question is how does one install a compiler? Having never done that
except from a distribution disk do you get source and compile? With what
compiler? or get binaries... I have not found any that seem suitable. It
seems like a chicken and egg situation.
Doug
