Re: this list and global variables...

Both you and David bring up some good points. I agree with what you've written, but I'm hesitant in adopting some blanket approach to moderating the list. I think that common sense should rule out. If there is a tricky question or a misunderstanding about Linux (not necessarily C even),

Upgrade to gcc2.8.1

Hello, I am currently running gcc2.7.3. I downloaded a program that needs 2.8.1 to compile. Which files/components do I need to download to upgrade? Where are some websites that discuss this kind of stuff? I've also read that the kernel doesn't compile correctly with 2.8.*.
