How to install gcc-3.3 in Ubuntu 9.04

Today I tried to install gcc-3.3 in Ubuntu9.04 in my PC. I followed following steps. I found 2 patches to solve the errors in the Internet.
(NOTE: - means delete, and + means add as in Patch file)

1. Download gcc-core3.3.tar.bz2 and gcc-g++-3.3.tar.bz2
2. bzip2 -cd gcc-core3.3.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
bzip2 -cd gcc-g++-3.3.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
3. mkdir build
4. cd build
5. /home/xxxx/gcc/gcc-3.3/configure --prefix=/opt/gcc33 --program-suffix=33 --enable-languages=c,c++

6. If there are errors from /usr/include/bits/studio-lock.h file
then comment the /*#include */
- #include
+ /*#include */
7. If there are errors from gcc/gcc-3.3/include/obstack.h file ("/read-rtl.c:653: error: lvalue required as increment operand")
Change line#423 in gcc/gcc-3.3/include/obstack.h
- *((void **)__o->next_free)++ = ((void *)datum); \
+ *((void **)__o->next_free) = ((void *)datum);
+ __o->next_free += sizeof(void *); \
8. If there are errors from decl.c file
Apply gcc42-patch-gcc-3.3.1_gcc_cp_decl.c patch from ftp.nsysu.edu.tw/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-current/ports/palm/prc-tools/files/gcc42-patch-gcc-3.3.1_gcc_cp_decl.c
9. If there is an error "gcc/collect2.c:1779:/usr/include/bits/fcntl2.h:51: error: call to ‘__open_missing_mode’ declared"
Then, in the line number 1776 of gcc/collect2.c
- redir_handle = open (redir, O_WRONLY | O_TRUNC | O_CREAT);
+ redir_handle = open (redir, O_WRONLY | O_TRUNC | O_CREAT, 0666);
10. make
11. Follow http://www.mjmwired.net/resources/mjm-fedora-gcc.html

Few useful commands:
sudo apt-get install gcc
find /usr/bin |grep gcc
find /usr/bin |grep g++
stat /usr/bin/gcc

$ cd /usr/bin
The default gcc version
$ gcc --v

Delete the old symbolic links
$ sudo rm cpp gcc g++

Change the symbolic links to 3.3: (Find where the gcc33 is installed. In this example we installed in /opt/gcc33/bin (we gave the command while installing gcc as: --prefix=/opt/gcc33).

$sudo ln -s /opt/gcc33/bin/g++33 /usr/bin/g++
$sudo ln -s /opt/gcc33/bin/gcc33 /usr/bin/gcc
$sudo ln -s /opt/gcc33/bin/cpp33 /usr/bin/cpp

Check the default gcc version

$ gcc --v

It should show new gcc version.

How to install flash player on Opera in Ubuntu?

Easiest way to install flash player on Opera in Ubuntu.

Are you frustrating with your Opera because you cannot play Youtube videos because it ask you to install Flash player, but you can't find/install for Opera?

Here is the simple steps. It's for newbies (as I am). NOTE: This procedure works only if Flash player is installed for Firefox.

Step-1: Change to the hidden directory

$cd ~/.opera

Step-2: Open and edit pluginpath.ini file. Add this line at the end of the file and save the file. (Note: CLOSE OPERA WHILE EDITING pluginpath.ini FILE.)

/home/qwerty/.mozilla/plugins=1

Step-3: Open Opera. Now, it works fine.

NS2 installation problem on Cygwin / NS2 installation problem on Windows7

I installed latest version of Cygwin and tried to install and run NS2, but it didn’t work. I check this site and found following information. http://nsnam.isi.edu/nsnam/index.php/Running_Ns_and_Nam_Under_Windows_9x/2000/XP_Using_Cygwin
I tried to search the solution on Google but couldn’t find exact answer. So, I am posting here. This may be useful to you.

The current version of Cygwin 1.7.x breaks some programs, including ns-2. Presently, there is no working version of the ns-allinone-2 series that works with Cygwin 1.7.x

Although, the above site says there is a "legacy" installation that will allow you to install Cygwin 1.5 series and then install ns-allinone-2 package. But, when I tried to install legacy, it didn’t work.

Fortunately, I found old version Cygwin 1.5.x in one of my friends’ computer. Now, it works perfectly.

Suggestion: try to get old version of Cygwin
Command to check version of Cygwin (it’s same as in Unix): uname –srv

Good luck
