The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Updating GCC on Centos 5.2

Asked by JimMead in CentOS, Compilers for Software Development, Red Hat Linux

Tags: CentOS, GCC, Core2, Core2 Duo, Intel, compile, source, update, upgrade, Red Hat, Linux, MySQL

Hi,
I am attempting to update GCC on our CentOS 5.2 server to the latest version as it supports Core2 optimisation, which I intend to use when compiling MySQL.
The server is currently running GCC 4.1.2 20071124 (Red Hat 4.1.2-42), which seems to be latest pre-compiled release for this distro.

I attempted to download and compile the GCC 4.3.3 sources, they seemed to compile (with a few warnings but no errors), but when I ran the test, there were a number of FAILs.
See the code block for how I compiled.

Does anyone has any advice on how I can do this?
Thanks
Jim
