Hello,
How to tell to a 'configure' file to compile with a specified version of g++ ?
Thanks.

A:
In a bash shell you can do something like this:
CC=gcc-2.95 ./configure
There will be similar techniques for other shells but I couldn't help you with the specifics. If your project is C++ the variable you need to define is CXX.

I don't even know how to call the wished version without configure...I type only g++.

Actually, on my system, it was gcc-4.1 for gcc-4.1.2.Thanks.

This works, but is discouraged. The recommended way to specify CC is in an argument to configure, not in the environment. In other words, you should do "./configure CC=/path/to/desired/compiler".
