If it really does need a C preprocessor why isn't the dependancy on cpp (>=3.2) or something else sensible. I currently have a machine with limited disk space. I already have gcc-2.95 for compiling the kernel and gcc-3.3 for just about everything else. Having to install parts of gcc-3.2 as well just seems strange. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
