Well I am a new Linux user. I am trying to compile a C++ program which
uses <sstream>. It is not in my distro with 6.2.
I am new, so bare with me. What led me to believe that gcc replaces
egcs is: http://gcc.gnu.org/releases.html
"After the April 1999 merger between GCC and EGCS, only a single version
number is maintained."
After that only gcc releases are available. So do I get the latest of
egcs???
Maybe I am totally wrong here. I was told by people from another news
group to
get the latest gcc release which has more streams.
Thanks again.
