I did search the FC4 packages and there is a compatibility package to

gcc32 --version
gcc32 (GCC) 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-47.fc4)
    

I am not sure how I can get the installer to use this version instead of 
the 4.X version.  Any ideas?
    

The simplest approach:

1.  Become root.  Find your gcc version 4.x (probably in /usr/bin).
Move it to some innocuous name ("mv /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcc-4.0.1").  

2.  Create a symlink between gcc and gcc32:  "ln -s /usr/bin/gcc32
/usr/bin/gcc"

3.  Become a normal user again.  Then try re-running the CD installer.

  

Stuart,

Is there a reason to run the CD as a normal user?  I have been using root up to now...
