Emboldened by James' advice, I installed gcc-2.95.2-3 on my RHL 6.1
system; the only thing that's stopped from doing it on my RHL 5.0 system
too was the lack of the required binutils (more-or-less fixed by now).
However, kdevelop had a problem:
libg++.so.2.7.2 is needed by kdevelop-1.1-1
I forced the issue and kdevelop still runs.
I rebuild kdevelop (I have the source rpm) and tried to upgrade it. Still
got the above message. I rpm --erased it and

I'm not sure whether some of these message are relevant; they result from
building the package.

Since the package clearly builds and therefore it seems to me that it
built adequately, I've forced the install.
