I'd like to install an older version of gcc on my Ubuntu Lucid machine. Particularly, I am interested in 2.95.3 or 3.0.2.

Is there any repository to download this package with the apt-get command?

  1. Enter in this website and select the mirror to your convenience.

  2. Then select old-releases and then gcc2 (for 2.95) or gcc3 (for 3.0). You should now see a few versions of gcc compressed.

  3. Now you should click in the one that you want to have and the download will start.

  4. Finally, you have to compile and install from source.

  • This is gcc-3.4. This does not work for me. I need gcc 3.0 or 2.9. – aminfar Jun 20 '12 at 21:05
  • I am not sure gcc-3.3 works. I tried with gcc-3.4 and it failed. The instruction manual says version 2.95.2, 2.95.3 or 3.0.2. – aminfar Jun 20 '12 at 21:30
  • The first error message using gcc-3.4: Tools/bit_vector.h:140: error: ISO C++ forbids declaration of ostream' with no type Tools/bit_vector.h:140: error:ostream' is neither function nor member function; cannot be declared friend

    There are also errors in other files as well.

  • I updated my answer. You should now be able to download the version that you asked. – Lucio Jun 20 '12 at 22:17
