The problem is, way back then when 2.249.2.5 was release, gcc3 didn't exist yet. The setup code from then didn't comply strictly enough to C++ standards to compile with gcc3. So, gcc-2? No, because the setup code needed some fixes to work with the -2 suffix on certain things. Probably the easiest option is to abandon 2.249.2.5, and grab the latest source from CVS. Max.
