I'm confused. There are too many versions of gcc running around.
Part of my current problem may be because I've been doing upgrades.
Let me explain. I've just compiled gcc 2.95.2, because of a work project.
I didn't use what is currently on the system because it is older (I think):
mrvideo.vidiot.com.ZROOT <201> which gcc
/usr/bin/gcc
mrvideo.vidiot.com.ZROOT <200> gcc --version
egcs-2.91.66
Yet when I query the RPM database, I get this:
mrvideo.vidiot.com.ZROOT <199> rpm -q -a | grep egcs
egcs-1.1.2-30
egcs-objc-1.1.2-30
egcs-c++-1.1.2-30
If 1.1.2-30 was just released, how can I have it on my computer already?
My RH 6.2 has been upgraded with the security packages on the RH site.
What is the deal with the gcc version numbering scheme, i.e., when did it
take over. This is all very confusing when trying to sort out the
chronological evolution of the compiler. Something tells me that egcs-2.91.66
is later than 2.95.2.
Any and all pointers regarding this will be appreciated.
