On Wed, May 16, 2001 at 03:56:00PM +0100 or so it is rumoured hereabouts, 
Lennon, Conor thought:

Yup!

IIRC, I got the rpms from gcc.org but found I had to install some libs
also.  I'm not at the box just now but I'll check it out on Fri.  I
thought I wouldn't be able to 'cos I was trying to "rpm -Uvh" and that was
wiping out libs I needed for stuff like man, linuxconf and more.  i then
realised that I could do a "rpm -ivh" instead which installed the 2.95
libs alongside the default RH7.0 ones and all was happy.

Gime a shout on Fri and I'll see if I can remember more.

Conor.
