They're deliberately not /etc/alternatives links; they're installed by the gcc packages, and will be set back to the current links when you upgrade. So no, that's probably not such a good idea (unless you fiddle with dpkg-divert). Generally you can set the CC and CXX environment variables to point to the compiler you want. -- Colin Watson [[EMAIL PROTECTED]] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
