I am using Ubuntu 9.10
For a particular piece of code I require GCC 3.2 but I have a higher version. Is it possible to install multiple versions and use whichever one I want to ?

    Have you searched the Ubuntu package archive for gcc ?

    If gcc 3.3 is ok, you could download the gcc-3.3 and related .deb packages for dapper and I suspect it will install and happily co-exist with the gcc 4.4 you get with karmic. (You’ll have to be sure to invoke it as gcc-3.3.)

    Otherwise you would have to:

    • download the relevant gcc source bundle
    • build it yourself with an installdir some place out of the way like /opt/gcc-3.3
    • make sure to set your PATH correctly when you need it.
