That's the question, yes. Looks like superkaramba (a KDE program?) has a list of GCC versions it thinks have problems. This is a poor test, because the Fedora GCC often has fixes for exactly those bugs. Instead of blacklisting whole gcc versions, they should make a configure test that checks for the actual problem. > gcc is the C++ compiler for KDE. > I know I should upgrade to gcc4, but I did not understand if the bug > persists.

You can install the compat-gcc-32 or compat-gcc-296 to get older versions of the compiler if you really need them. But my guess is that the problem is actually only imaginary, and that if you edit the configure script to ignore that check, it'll all work fine. -- Matthew Miller mattdm@xxxxxxxxxx <http://mattdm.org/> Boston University Linux ------> <http://linux.bu.edu/>
