Hello,
I am trying to install software on the above system. However, the software that I need requires an earlier version of gcc (version 4.1) my current install version is 4.5.1. It is possible to install an 4.1 on my current system? Where would I get the gcc version from?
Also, I get this message about the Linux kernel
The current kernel version (2.6.37.6-0.20-desktop) is later than
the version currently supported by this software (2.6.5)
Is it possible to install this earlier kernel. Where would I get that from?
Many thanks for any suggestions,
