So, I'm knee deep in the Open64 compiler architecture for my work. I have a FC5 install that I use at work, but I was hoping to install it on my home computer (which is a hackintosh). I briefly tried to do it natively, but quickly gave up and figured I'd install Linux on a VMware client.
So I did, first via livedisc and then via the install DVD. All good. I installed the RPM for open64 and it's all hunky dorey except the open64 C++ absolutely chokes on anything C++. I get all sorts of errors that come from #include <iostream> on a toy program. g++ of course works just fine.
So I figured it might be an incompatibility with the gcc install. I tried to remove, via package manager, gcc figuring I'd reinstall another 4.1 version. Well, doing so choked the install, and when I rebooted the VM it wouldn't boot. So that install is borked and I gotta try again.
So the question is:
1). Anyone have any experience with this? Open64 uses an older gcc-based front end, but it's obviously choking on something involving the standard C++ includes (C works fine). Any idea how to fix that?
2). How to I install an older version of gcc? Is there a simple way to do this? Is there a nice repository of RPMs for gcc? I've found a couple, but god knows if they work.
If this works, you'll be helping the economy! I've been planning on upgrading my old G4 Powerbook to a new Macbook Pro, but it only makes sense if I can do my work on it, which means either bootcamp (does that even support linux?) or a VMware install with Linux on it...but for that, I need open64 to work.
Help!?
(Thanks!)
