I would say that your advice is a little extreme. While I agree that it is, ususally a pain in the neck, I did use gcc-3.2 (and its library alongside with the distribution's compiler (gcc-2.95, in may case). Of course the compiler and libraries have to be installed somewhere else. And everytime one uses them one has to make sure that gcc-3.2 is in the path (first in the path, to be on the safe side) and to prefix the make command with the incantation "LD_LIBRARRY_PATH=/usr/local/gcc-3.2.2/lib/" (that's where it was located, in my case). Good luck and cheers, Avraham
