TEG>.c is for C files - C++ files generally use .cpp or .C.
This is not directly related to the poster's query but it's useful
ancillary info... weren't some of the changes made in RH7 that everybody
has bitched about... made expressly to improve C++ support? I have
thought that was the case and if so then wouldn't the poster have a
better time using his RH7 box as opposed to his 6.2 box?
