Use the alien package - it's made for situations like this. > 2) Can I break anything by installing this Pentium-gcc-version that > can't be undone by reinstalling the Debian gcc package? I doubt it, but re-installing gcc won't clean up completely from installing this package - there will still be pgcc binaries left all over the place. However, using alien to convert it into a .deb and then installing it will make it easy to clean up all the binaries if need be. > Of course I'd prefer to install a Debian package.

I seem to remember seeing a request for an egcs package on the WNPP list, but I could be wrong. -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
