you can get gcc-3.2.3 from the package compat-gcc-32 (yum install compat-gcc-32)

You can also try gcc-4.x from the package gcc4

thanks - thats the version i know this will compile against. Any ideas how to instruct the compiler to user this version of gcc rather than the default?

I think they will differ in name, use "rpm -ql xxx | grep bin" when you have installed them.

# rpm -ql gcc | grep bin /usr/bin/c89 /usr/bin/c99 /usr/bin/cc /usr/bin/gcc /usr/bin/gcov /usr/bin/i386-redhat-linux-gcc /usr/bin/protoize /usr/bin/unprotoize

seems i can only see 3.4.4 but i have installed the compat-gcc-32 rpm ?

Because its in the compat-gcc-32 package, not gcc package. Try "rpm -ql compat-gcc-32 | grep bin". The exe you want to use is gcc32.

Has anyone else ever managed to get aspseek to compile on a recent linux version? I have it running on 3.x but i need to upgrade the boxes to 4.x but also have this software run.

Hmm, it's been a while since we've looked at ASPseek... The only problem I'm remembering is the STL incompatibilities, but I guess that if you got it working under 3.x, you've already fixed those.

It looks like ASPseek's forums may have more information, including a link to an "aspseek-ng" at http://www.awp.nnov.ru/~jk/aspseek-ng.tar.gz.

I decided that it was easier to just switch to ht://Dig (comparable feature set, still being developed, provided by CentOS / RH) rather than figure out how to get ASPseek to work. YMMV.

This is the wrong thing to do. What you want to do is assign gcc32 to the CC environment variable, as well as g++32 to CXX. Unless, of course, ASPseek doesn't look at those variables in which case feel free to talk to the developers.

It does look at them. If SRPM is downloaded, to rebuild it, the beggining of %build should be changed to look like this (some extra changes needed since gcc32/g++32 bark on -mtune option, but equivalent -mcpu works just fine). Note that %configure changes to ./configure (otherwise it resets CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS)! This is how far I got, I don't really need this RPM, so I'll leave it to others to continue ;-)

%build CC=gcc32 CXX=g++32 CFLAGS="`echo %{optflags} | sed 's/mtune=/mcpu=/g'`" CXXFLAGS="`echo %{optflags} | sed 's/mtune=/mcpu=/g'`" export CC CXX CFLAGS CXXFLAGS ./configure --sysconfdir=%{sysconfdir} \ --localstatedir=%{localstatedir} \ --libdir=%{libdir} \ --bindir=%{http_dir_cgibin} \ --sbindir=%{sbindir} \ --mandir=%{_mandir} --enable-apache-module

I just took a quick look into it. Seems that your problem is not compiler version (btw, you'd also need compat-gcc-32-c++ if you want to compile the thing with the old version of compiler). Looks more like version of mysql header files. Your best bet would be to either contact author(s) of aspseek or ask on mysql (devel?) list what to do with program that expects old header files if you attempt to build it against new(er) mysql.

well in the end it did work using

aspseek1.2.10 gcc3.2.3 mysql-4.1.14

and the exact same combination of aspseek and mysql did not compile using gcc3.4.4 - So not sure what the exact issue was but i got there in the end!!

thanks

Most (sane) packages will use ENV vars CC CXX, so export CC=gcc4 export CXX=g++4

before should hopefully work.

thanks for all the tips - i have actually managed to get this to build - I had to give it the g++ as well as the gcc versions from gcc32 to build.

thanks for all the help as this was a show stopper
