Interesting I just downloaded ksnuffle and it compiled and ran perfectly. I have gcc
2.95.3 I downloaded the source RPM from the cooker site and rebuilt the whole gcc
suite and installed it. I also did that with glibc-2.1.3. So it could be that last
.3 in my gcc or possible glibc that makes it work for me. Those are the only two
packages I've upgraded that would come close to causing (or fixing for that matter)
compiler errors.
Hope this information helps you a little.
