Dear all
If it was only Gnome for which you are going to have trouble would be fine.
The worst are the compilers which come with Red Hat 7 even the upgrade
versions . Being so in a bleeding edge gcc 2.96 is just not stable and should
not be used if you do not want to be with nighmares while compiling .
Just replace it with 2.95.2.1
For example you can get it from
ftp://gd.tuwien.ac.at/gnu/gcc/releases/gcc-2.95.2.1/
or wait for 3.0....
Look at
http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-2.96.html
for extra information
I mentioned this point to Red Hat but did not get any answer
Best regards
Bernard
