What I really meant by this is that C tends to compile just fine with gcc and some kernel libraries. C++ always requires odd libraries like libstdc++, which change so often I can never get a C++ library version that properly matches the version that was required for the program. Redhat had an old compatibility C++ library, but I'm not sure if mandrake has the same thing. I tried to compile a program with some C++ in it a couple of days ago and it said I needed libstdc++4, and all I have is version 5. I tried linking 5->4, but it didn't like that either. This might have been an rpm. I don't remember. But I also tried compiling a couple of versions of it and they had some problem with gtk-config not being set up or something. I don't quite recall, but its not too important, so I gave up.
