Yes. See this answer to a similar question I asked: http://lists.debian.org/debian-gcc/2001/debian-gcc-200111/msg00004.html > Since 2.95 is the default (i386 woody), all the debs are built with > that, so they won't work with 3.0, right?

I don't know if that's true for the libs you're using though. Personally, I was able to build qt-3 from trolltech's tarball with gcc-3.0 without problems. > Anyway, if all this is true, maybe I should go back to 2.95.

If you write good, standards compliant code, it shouldn't be a problem. -- Brian Nelson <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://bignachos.com
