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?

Learning PostgreSql: old versions of rows are stored right in the table

as seen on SQL Blog - Search for 'SQL Blog'
PostgreSql features multi-version concurrency control aka MVCC. To implement MVCC, old versions of rows are stored right in the same table, and this is very different from what SQL Server does, and it leads to some very interesting consequences. Let us play with this thing a little bit, but first… >>> More
