[-- Attachment #1 --] I'm not sure about gcc-2.8.1, but when you install the latest egcs(gcc-2.95.2) the port installs the executables into /usr/local/bin followed by a major version number. So calling gcc or g++ would still run the system default compiler, but typing something like "gcc295 filename.c" or "g++295 filename.cc" will call the 2.95.2 version. ~Harris >What is the proper way to upgrade gcc? > >I tried installing the gcc28 port, but whenever I try to compile anything >(I had to juggle my $PATH around to get it to use the proper binary) I get >a whole bunch of parse errors, etc from files in /usr/inclide/g++ like >function.h, etc...
