Thanks Philipp, I'll have a go at that. And for the warning about KDE. Maybe it's time I had a go at fixing some code ;-) Arthur On Wednesday 28 May 2003 19:26, Philipp Thomas wrote:

Don't do that. Install to another prefix, preferably *not* /usr/local.
Steps to take:
- Unpack tarball - Create a build directory - Change to the build-directory and call configure from the source directory, passing it something like --prefix=/opt/gcc295. - make bootstrap (this *has* to be called) - make install
Note that even if you succeed in compiling gcc 2.95.3, you won't be able to compile C++ programs and libraries that need more then libstdc++, i.e. mostly KDE programs.
I'd really advise you to not take that step but either wait until the authors fix their code or fix the code yourself.
