I’m using opensuse 11 with KDE 3.5 and I would like to change my gcc version to an older version (4.2) because I’m having some problems with gcc4.3 when I try to compile, for instance, NVIDIA-Cuda.
I guess downgrading is not possible because all programs were build and linked against the new gcc version. But as far as I know it is possible to have multiple gcc’s installed ad the same time. There is a howto on the gcc site: GCC Frequently Asked Questions - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF) .

What problems are you having? Often it’s easier to resolve the problems
with the source code, than to replace / downgrade gcc. And installing
multiple versions of gcc gets confusing quickly.

Actually, a quick search gives a solution which would help you, from the
NVIDIA Cuda forums, ‘Cuda on Linux’, third item from the top…
