I saw that 0.4.1 works with Fedora Core 4 and AFAIK it has new GCC so it should be enough. Am I wrong? Also, you might try to use CVS snapshots to get it in for testing too, if the released version isn't enough for us. -- O T A V I OS A L V A D O R - E-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] UIN: 5906116 GNU/Linux User: 239058 GPG ID: 49A5F855 Home Page: http://www.freedom.ind.br/otavio - Microsoft gives you Windows ...
