Problems upgrading Gcc

[cp2000]

I am trying to upgrade Gcc on my Solaris 8 box. I am currently running Gcc 2.95 and need to upgrade to 3.23.

I downloaded the pkg from

http://www.sunfreeware.com.

After unzzipping it I tried to install it with
pkgadd -d gcc.....

got error:
gcc
(sparc) 3.3.2

Current administration requires that a unique instance of the
<SMCgcc> package be created. However, the maximum number of
instances of the package which may be supported at one time on the
same system has already been met.


I would like to do this upgrade such that I can backout if it is not compatiable with our other software. I'm sure I've missed a step somewhere but haven't a clue what it is.

Any help appreciated
TIA

I would just back out the other one with pkgrm SMCgcc.....

and then install the new one with pkgadd....

The reason I say this is that the pkg commands, archive what the installation did so it is easier to back out later. If you run into a problem just uninstall the new one and reinstall the old one. You should be able to find the old package on sunfreeware too. Besides, I dont think pkgadd will allow more than one instance of the compiler on your system.
