If you are going to install from a tarball and you want it to coexist with
the version shipped with RHL, install in /usr/local. I've done that, and
it works just fine. You'll need to adjust your path and LD_LIBRARY_PATH
appropriately.
Someone at Red Hat had gcc 3.1 RPMs that were designed to coexist
peacefully with the shipped gcc, but I can't recall who it was. Also,
there were gcc3.0.4 RPMs available for RHL 7.2. Those are probably still
available at ftp.redhat.com.
