Sounds like you need a newer version of the compiler RPM. Ftp to updates.redhat.com and see if you can find it. Or maybe not: my real advice to anyone with a reasonably modern disk (greater than 10 GB) is to install *everything*. There is a lot of cool stuff in these kitchen-sink distributions, put it all on and you will have tons of wonderful stuff to discover as you learn. Certainly, turn off daemons you aren't using, and keep everything up-to-date, but install it all if you can. It only makes sense to "install just what you need" if you have very precise needs, but for a user machine, and particularly as a newbie who is learning, that is not you. If you can still turn back and reinstall everything, consider doing so. -kb, the Kent who wants to install a newer distribution so it will once again be well ahead of him in offering lots of new toys. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
