Re: gcc compiler version problems

Thomas,

I'm afraid I didn't quite understand most of your reply  (close, I think, 
just not sure).

compat-gcc-7.3-2.96.110 - I just found that on CD 2.  I will wait to 
install till you respond to this in case the below obviates the need.

I asked RH support if they had a 2.4.20 rpm and the answer was nope.
I asked on a couple of places if there was one somewhere and someone did 
mention rawhide, but I couldn't find anything.

What is an SRPM?  What is a prebuild kernel-2.4.20 RPM?

What did this mean?  Kernel 2.4.0-2.2 ?  What do the following lines 
mean?  If they are levels, I get the following from rpm -q :
modutils-2.4.18-2
initscripts-6.95-1
mkinitrd-3.4.28-1

It would appear that my modutils is downlevel from yours, but there isn't 
anything on RHN that I know about.

Thank you for your help,
