NVIDIA gcc-3.4 problem

[it clown]

Hi,

I have tried sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4 gcc-3.4-base but
get the following:

sudo apt-get install gcc-3.4 gcc-3.4-base
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree... Done
E: Couldn't find package gcc-3.4

Does not seem find it. Do i need to manually install it
from source? Where can i donwload gcc-3.4?

Thanks
Regards
