Im surprised they havent Jakub.Point is if they havent filed one..well they have sealed their own fate.Im sure RH would be responsible enough to make sure the compiler in their release is working OK .. Now i have noticed two more programs that needed a different compiler through the past months.I was not at the time aware this was sidespread and havent noted which ones. But if it might help i can look through the bunch of applications i got on disk and run the ./configure on them to give you more examples and references. g day Richard _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
