Are you sure that the problems aren't just with FC2's gcc-3.3.x vs FC3 and RHEL4's 3.4.x? Note that Fedora Core 3 started with gcc-3.4.2-6.fc3, but was updated to the current bugfix level. I suggest reading the changelog for the latest gcc package for FC3 -- the differences between the RHEL4 release and the latest FC3 version appears to be a large number of bugfixes. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://www.mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/> Current office temperature: 75 degrees Fahrenheit.
