Desarrollo Linux y software libre

En la instalación se producen varios errores, ante ellos es necesario:

1º) Desinstalar gcc 4.2.4 e instalar 4.2.3. Se puede descargar de:
http://packages.ubuntu.com/hardy/i386/gcc-4.2/download

$ sudo apt-get remove --purge gcc
$sudo dpkg -i --force-all gcc-4.2_4.2.3-2ubuntu7_i386.deb

y se comprueba que ha quedado bien instalado con
carlos@WhenIGrewUp:~/downloads$ gcc -v
Usando especificaciones internas.
Objetivo: x86_64-linux-gnu
Configurado con: ../src/configure -v --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,objc,obj-c++,treelang --prefix=/usr --enable-shared --with-system-zlib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --without-included-gettext --enable-threads=posix --enable-nls --with-gxx-include-dir=/usr/include/c++/4.2 --program-suffix=-4.2 --enable-clocale=gnu --enable-libstdcxx-debug --enable-objc-gc --enable-mpfr --enable-checking=release --build=x86_64-linux-gnu --host=x86_64-linux-gnu --target=x86_64-linux-gnu
Modelo de hilos: posix
gcc versión 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-1ubuntu3)

Si no, revisa la desinstalación y el enlace simbólico «gcc» en /usr/bin

Después, al ejecutarlo, frecuentemente sale el siguiente error:
