Hi Cristian,

[snipped all for brevity]

just two questions, remember... I'm still a newbie,

a) the gcc-2.7.2.3-5.src.rpm is from the RH 4.2 pkgs?

b) for the c++ compatibility, you say:

When i got installed the egcs I've not replaced the gcc&g++ from std RH
5
nor an "rpm -V glibc" has told me anything missing - corrupted - etc...
so my question is: I thinked i've done a safe install, i.e. not
touched my old libs or includes (i've installed egcs in /usr/local/egcs)
I'm wrong in this? or I've overwrite something important to the old
gcc-g++?
(and i've not seen this!).

This is an ls output on my /usr/local/egcs dir:

bin/                include/            lib/
i686-pc-linux-gnu/  info/               man/

I was thinking that all the egcs-stuff was here... and the egcs
compilers were
aware of this and don't attempt to touch other than the contents of this
dir:
it's this true?

Many thanx,

ciao fede
