You were right about ncurses-devel; that fixed my menuconfig problem. I was also able to update kgcc (it wasn't even there), but when I tried to update gcc, I ended up in a dependency quagmire! I ended up having to install glibc, glibc-common, glibc-devel, gcc-devel, and on and on. Eventually it wanted me to upgrade rpmlib, but that's where the mess broke down for me.
Any ideas how to do this, without upgrading the entire distribution?
