It is not. > Now, what I am about to do, is just simple downgrade to Debian 1.3, but I > don't really want to do that. I've built libg++2.8 and libg++2.8-dev packages for use with egcs's g++. Those packages are currently still in the Incoming directory, so you'll have to fetch them from a mirror of Incoming (see http://www.debian.org/devel/incoming_mirrors.html for a list) for now. Please be aware that libstdc++ contains a string class that conforms to the recently accepted C++ standard, and that libg++ will no longer be supported by the FSF. You might want to consider migrating your code to the libstdc++ string class. (Unfortunately, the C++ standard does not cover a class for regular expression handling).
