Ah-ha

Well, you could do something like this for a hd install (albeit I never used a hd install):

Code Sample

$ mydsl-load /path-to-file/compile-3.3.5.uci
$ sudo cp -r /opt/compile-3.3.5 /tmp
$ mydsl-load /path-to-file/compile-3.3.5.uci
$ sudo cp -r /tmp/compile-3.3.5 /opt
$ sudo rm -r /tmp/compile-3.3.5

What were the errors? You might want to consult "linux from scratch" for some hints on compiling gcc

Ye good point ^^ acctually i just relized that i might have compiled it completely wrong :S OOps
i did
./configure
make
make install
it takes aagggeeesss
what is the right way?
and because i am on HD-install does it mean i will have to uninstall/remove the original gcc.
and furthermore important, do i have to remove ndiswrapper (the old version) ?

Did you use only "./configure" or did you pass some options like "./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-languages=c,c++" etc?

You don't neccessarily need to uninstall the other version of gcc, you can have, for example, one in /usr and one in /opt/gcc-3.4 and then oblige your machine to use one or the other by something like "CC="gcc -B/opt/gcc-3.4/bin/" ./configure ..."

As regards ndiswrapper, if you install the new version to the same location as the old version, it will get overwritten.
