To fix that, you have to manually edit the Makefiles in each of the "O" sub-directories and change the CCC=g++ to CCC=g++32, run make clean, make, and make install when the installer complains and completes this step. All of the files compiles but when it comes to linking all of the object files together - it fails with unresolved symbols. I am using fc5's g++32 compat files which might be the reason since fc4's version is older than that of fc5. 3) EVERYTHING compiles and builds under FC5 with exception to gnucaps. Cheers! Dan
