I would suggest the latest 2.96, it seems to work fine. In 8.1 the /usr/bin/gcc is a symlink to /etc/alternatives/gcc which is a symlink to /usr/bin/gcc-2.96 or /usr/bin/gcc-3.0. You can have both installed and just change the symlink etc/alternatives/gcc to whichever you want to use, even back and forth to each if you want. -- Chad Young Registered Linux User #195191 @ http://counter.li.org
