Hi
You do not need to reinstall gcc, but you need its source for compiling gpc. When compiling you may select to compile only pascal compiler, however you may do "full" install as well. This will not harm your gcc, besides you can make ".old" copy of your current gcc or move it out of the way just in case (all of this was in INSTALL if I remember correctly). If you are saving copy of gcc don't forget /usr/lib/gcc-version directory. If you did not recompile kernel it may be overwritten (if you did you shouldn't worry). This shouldn't do any harm though, after all this is the same source code.

Can somebody say to me which file is the better to install ? (i know how to install them)
None of the above. ;-) Instead, get the most recent source distribution from the `alpha' subdirectory plus the source of gcc-2.95.x and follow the instructions in the INSTALL file enclosed in the GPC source archive.
Can somebody say to me what environment variables to define to access to the units because i have installes GPC on another compiler but i coudn't compile programs with the crt or other included units ?
When everything is installed correctly, you can simply type `uses CRT' and it will work. Don't forget the `--automake' option to the call to `gpc'.
Hope this helps,
