Mandrake 9 gcc3.0 install problems

[gerbil42]

So, being the Linux newb that I am, and only having gotten SEQ working on RedHat distros before, I decided to try to get it working on Mandrake 9.

./configure reports that it can't find gcc3.0 etc to compile, no biggie, go to rpmfind.net, download gcc3.0.1-1.1mdk, gcc3.0-c++-3.0.1-1.1mdk, gcc3.0-cpp-3.0.1-1.1mdk, and libgcc3.0-3.0.1-1.1mdk, libstdc++3.0-3.0.0-1.1mdk, libstdc++3.0-devel-3.0.1-1.1mdk (the last 3 being prerequisites the others wanted, for obvious reasons)

When I select any of the first 3 packages in rpmdrake9, it automatically says "hey, you also need these, dumbass" and selects them for me.

I click install, and it appears to go for about 5 seconds then a new screen pops up with the following message....

"There was an error during packages installation:

Problems occured during installation:
file /lib/libgcc_s.so.1 from the install of libgcc3.0-3.0.1-1.1mdk conflicts with the file from package libgcc1-3.2-1.mdk"

Only, when I go into remove software, my Win32 brain thinking "remove the old before installing the new" I can't find package libgcc1-3.2-1.mdk listed anywhere at all.

Any suggestions/solutions?

Mandrake 9 comes with and is compiled with gcc 3.2. There is no reason to downgrade to an older version. You may need to add in some gcc 3.2 devel packages to meet the requirements of SEQ though. Also, you will want to download and compile QT 2.3.2. Not that there are any major problems with the included QT 3.0.5 but it is missing a few items that SEQ needs and QT 2.3.2 is KNOWN to be very stable with SEQ.

Please use search as Codepig666 and some others have posted Mandrake 9 walkthroughs that are quite clear.

Thank you very much.

Tried google searches, didn't make it as far as searching here before I posted in frustration.
