The problem is that all my source code compiles only with gcc/g++ 2.96. So, it will be very important that *compiling* support be provided also. I would need the libstdc++ 2.96 headers, gcc and g++ 2.96 compilers and the 2.96 pre-processor. Would there be a chance to get all these "compiling" stuff from SuSE ? Thanks in advance, Rita.

No. There is only *runtime* support for C++ programs compiled with gcc 2.96-ia64-000717 (package compat). A gcc 2.95 for ia64 never existed.
