Data Updating GCC in Linux
Hi everybody,

I'm trying to update GCC on my computer. It looks that the current GCC installation is not complete. What shall I do with the old GCC? Shall I uninstall it before installing a new one?

Mandrake Linux 10.1
Current GCC 3.4.1
The version being installed -- GCC 3.4.4.

Thanx, M.M.

I think that you should uninstall the old version before installing any new ones. Especially since you are saying that the current installation is possibly incomplete.
