Tell me about it :-P Since Compaq doesn't allow redistribution of their compilers per their license, I can't even put them in non-free, so they can't be relied upon at all. I may just offer up debs for cxx-built qt2.2 in a different location :-( > Is the g++ bug being looked into by the upstream? Yes, in fact, it's already been addressed in later versions (hence, RH7's ability to compile Qt2.2 well enough to work). What's made it so difficult was that the changes needed to make it work are tied to C++ ABI changes, IIRC, so they can't be easily backported. Admittedly, I'm dragging proverbial ass making a patch of my own to fix this. I have a half-finished one, but I'm secretly hoping for gcc3 to be done before I need to finish it :-P C
