This is a tricky question to answer, because it partially depends on what
you're trying to compile.
Most software cource that you download comes with a script called
configure that checks your system, makes sure you have all the
pre-requisites installed, etc. and creates special directive files
First, upgrade your version of libstdc++. Also, I would upgrade your
version of xpm (I just checked and I'm running at xpm-3.4k-8mdk). With any
luck that will help. The main thing is upgrading libstdc++ - thats what is
causing your compiler to tell you that it cannot compile an executable.
, which is a RH6.1 i386 rpm. libstdc++ is
2.95-1_2.10.0-3, the latest contrib rpm for a RH6.1 distro. Wine should
compile for RH60. Yes?

Yes. You can set up fetchmail to run as a cron job, which will fetch your mail
at a specified interval (which is nice if you telnet into your machine from a
remote location to check your mail).
If you just want to check in when you're logged in locally under X there are
numerous ways to do it.
Careful with this topic - it can sometimes start wars. :)
KDE is too much like Windows for me. Gnome is unnecessarily bloated. I use
straight Enlightenment, mainly because it looks nice and is extremely
configurable (almost too configurable). Very fast and very slick.

First, be aware that if you downloaded an ICQ for Linux in .tar.gz format it is
probably source code and needs to be compiled before it can be installed.
Installing software by compiling the sources and installing it is good in some

This weekend I decided to re-install Mandrake 7.0. It was running fine, but I
wanted to experiment with getting system sounds working under Gnome with my

Gnome.
The good news is that the system sounds work. :)
