Hi, I need gcc 4.3 running alongside the shipped 4.4 on an FC13 machine. I can't do the VM solution discussed at

http://serverfault.com/questions/88445/how-to-install-old-versions-of-gcc-on-fedora-12

since I need hardware access (CUDA computations on the graphics card).

There's no compat-gcc-43 package (only compat-gcc-34). So I've built gcc by hand and am now trying to decide how to "install" it.

Could anyone confirm that this was my only option, and/or suggest a best practice for how to manage the side-by-side gcc versions?
