OK, fine - I was just trying to point out that there are two compilers on a rh7.2 box (which many folks are unaware of). But how about trying to use kgcc? It might be the fix and every time I've come across this parse error issue it has been down to the 2.96 compiler. regards nick >Thanks, >Ben > >-- >Ben Logan: ben at wblogan dot net >OpenPGP Key KeyID: A1ADD1F0 > >God gave man two ears and one tongue so that we listen twice as much as >we speak. > -- Arab proverb > > > >_______________________________________________ >Redhat-list mailing list >[EMAIL PROTECTED] >https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list _______________________________________________ Redhat-list mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
