Trouble installing g++ and libg++ on Linux
==========================================

   "I've downloaded the latest g++ and libg++ and I'm trying to install
them on Linux, and I'm having lots of problems."

   FSF releases of libg++ won't install on Linux unchanged, since Linux
uses are part of the libio library from libg++ for its standard C
library, only this is changed in a way that it clashes with libg++.
This means that you'll need a patched version of libg++ for it to work.

   If you want to upgrade to a new gcc/libg++ combination, the easiest
thing to do is to grab the prebuilt versions of gcc and libg++ for Linux
from `ftp://tsx-11.mit.edu/pub/linux/packages/GCC'.  Follow the
directions carefully.  If you want to build from source, you'll need a
patch for libg++; the Linux developers have named the patched libg++
version libg++-2.7.1.3 and there is a patch file in the above-named
directory.

   See `ftp://www.mrc-apu.cam.ac.uk/pub/linux/GCC-FAQ.html', the Linux
GCC FAQ (though it may be a bit out of date; the Linux community moves
quickly).
