Move to gcc 3.3.1 was not a good idea

Hi:

I am developing an accounting system using wxGTK 2.4.1 compiled from source.
Using the system installed from SuSE 8.2 CD's worked fine, except that the
program exited with a segment violation message. This did not happen on
another development box running LM 9.0. I was advised to upgrade gcc to 3.3.1
version, which is the one available from SuSE site.

I am also running RH 6.2 using UML-Linux on this same box, which I use to do a
release RPM version of the accounting system. The compiled software using RH
6.2 does not exhibit the segment violation problem.

Something went wrong, because now I can not link my program to the wxGTK
library, even though I recompiled it with the new gcc 3.3.1. I have a
deadline to meet, and must go on with my work. I wonder if someone could
advise as to the best way to return my system to its original state.

I tried reinstalling the packages that were upgraded, but did not work. And I
can't do a reinstall because many packages, including a Win4Lin setup,
user-mode-linux, etc., have been installed since. Any ideas would be
appreciated.

Thank you.
