LOL! This isn't the answer I was looking for <wink>. | Presumably, the set-up still has gcc-2.95 as "gcc" and you'd have to | specify CC=gcc230 or some such to use the 3.0 version. I think I should suggest to the developers that the pages on packages.debian.org should all have a link to the upstream web site and display a list of all the files that are in the package. I would like to see, before I spend hours downloading the package, what executables it will create so I can look for any conflicts I may see. For example, I want to have kaffe, gcj, jdk1.1.8 and jdk1.2.2 on my system so I want to be sure there aren't any conflicts with more than one of them providing, for example, /usr/bin/java. It's probably best to use a different root for each package, and check this sort of stuff first. | Guess this pain will have to be dealt with pretty soon anyway... Yep. I read through the discussion on the -dev archives. No resolution yet. -D
