I think, libs compiled with gcc 2.95 just should reside in separate directory, say, /usr/lib/gcc-2.95-compat. Gcc 3.2.x should be run as gcc or gcc-3.2. Gcc 2.95.x should be run as gcc-2.95. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
