Hi Eric,

thanks for your answer.

Don't worry. I read the warnings and took it into account. The new gcc is
not replacing the old one, and the system still works OK.

First problem:
1) when installing gcc I receive the following messages:
 cd gcc-2.95.3
 ./configure
Configuring for a i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld host.
Created "Makefile" in /usr/local/bin/gcc/gcc-2.95.3
./configure: cc: command not found
*** The command 'cc -o conftest -g   conftest.c' failed.
*** You must set the environment variable CC to a working compiler.

And, of course, if I try to follow with make, this is what it says:

configure: error: installation or configuration problem: C compiler cannot
create executables.
Configuring in ./libstdc++
Configuring for a i686-pc-linux-gnuoldld host.
rmdir: `libstdc++': Directory not empty
Configuring in ./libf2c
creating cache ./config.cache
checking if compiler f771 has been built... no
rmdir: `libf2c': Directory not empty

etc.

What can I do about this?

The file .AIPSRC is the following:

I hope that it makes any sense for you to suggest me something.

Thanks,
