Thats why it is not recommended to use g++ 3.2 in evironments compiled with previous versions (specifically 2.9.x) of the compiler, the programs may just not work as expected. I mentioned I wanted to use g++ 3.2 *without hassles*. This is what I was alluding to. Someone please correct me if I am grossly mis-informed. >Anyway, Redhat 8.0 already ships with gcc-3.2. I know that. But I mentioned that I wanted to switch to Debian. That was the reason for my post. > And if you think you want to wait for Debian's next "release" ... > man, are you misinformed or what! :-D Thats the feeling I had. I do not know too much about the Debian release process and was looking for a guess from some of the Debian enthusiasts here as to when they think the next release will be. That will give me some time frame atleast.. -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Apurva Mehta PGP Public Key: http://www.geocities.com/theprancinghorse/pgp_public_key.txt -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
