Hi there everyone, First for a little kuwento: I downloaded GCC 2.96 RPMs packaged by RawHide. Unfortunately I found out later from the GCC website that 2.96 and 2.97 are part of the development tree leading to GCC 3.0 and are not to be used, unless for development, of course. I would have gone ahead and used it anyway, but got scared off by the following from the website: "Current snapshots of GCC, and any version labeled 2.96, produce object files that are not compatible with those produced by either GCC 2.95.2 or the forthcoming GCC 3.0. Therefore, programs built with these snapshots will not be compatible with any official GCC release." Can anyone help me understand exactly what complications using GCC 2.96 (which, BTW, ships with the supposedly very buggy RedHat 7.0) are? Before trying out GCC 2.96, I was using GCC 2.95.3 RPMs. I presume these are snapshots of the development tree at a certain point in time, too, as my RPM is gcc-2.95.3-0.20000323.i386.rpm. With this in mind, should I go ahead and use GCC 2.96 anyway? I tried to find RPMs for RedHat of GCC 2.95.2, but to no avail. I've seen RPMs for Mandrake, Suse, and a whole bunch of other distros, but none in the libc6 contrib, RawHide, or any of the RedHat sections of RPMFind. Would anyone know either where I can find RPMs for RedHat 6.2 of GCC 2.95.2, or perhaps an equivalent version of EGCS (since they're supposedly the same)? I need RPMs for libstdc++ and libstdc++-compat, too.
