What you should do: install libc5-altdev and altgcc. libc5-altdev does _not_ conflict with libc6. Then you'll need to do something with your PATH so that the altgcc will be used by default instead of the libc6 gcc. (Probably read /usr/doc/altgcc/* to find out what). One problem though: if you are compiling libg++ stuff, you'll also have to install libg++272-altdev, and I didn't make that package. (I'm the libg++ maintainer). If there is enough demand for a libg++272-altdev package, I'll release one, though. -- joost witteveen, [EMAIL PROTECTED] #!/usr/bin/perl -sp0777i<X+d*lMLa^*lN%0]dsXx++lMlN/dsM0<j]dsj $/=unpack('H*',$_);$_=`echo 16dio\U$k"SK$/SM$n\EsN0p[lN*1 lK[d2%Sa2/d0$^Ixp"|dc`;s/\W//g;$_=pack('H*',/((..)*)$/) #what's this? see http://www.dcs.ex.ac.uk/~aba/rsa/ -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
