FreeBSD-current now has gcc 2.7.2.1 and libg++ 2.7.2 if that might be of interest ... If I remember right, some people said on the mailinglists, that some C++ projects are only to handle with gcc-2.7.x. So maybe migrating to -current with an experimental machine might solve your problem ?! I'd simly try it ... -current is stable enough. I run it for months without backups ... (not because I'm too lazy, only because I don't have a tape anymore ;) Andreas /// -- andreas@klemm.gtn.com /\/\___ Wiechers & Partner Datentechnik GmbH Andreas Klemm ___/\/\/ Support Unix -- andreas.klemm@wup.de pgp p-key http://www-swiss.ai.mit.edu/~bal/pks-toplev.html >>> powered by <<< ftp://sunsite.unc.edu/pub/Linux/system/Printing/aps-491.tgz >>> FreeBSD <<<
