[Gllug] libstdc++2.8.0 & rpm hatred

[Jim Bailey]

Hi,

this is a bit (ok quite a bit) out of my depth but from what little I know 
I would say you need gcc2.8 to compile the older stuff.  I think and 
therefore I am wrong ;-) that the error that you are getting is possibly 
similar to the problem Redhat user got with the weird gcc release with 
Redhat 7.0.  I hope this helps and if I am completly wrong tough ;-P this 
advice comes with absolutely no warranty as per the GPL.  Best of luck 
mate and respect for having a go.

Peace Jim

hand-held calculators, and that arouses me."
