  43 </I>&gt;<i> This is an unofficial release of the GCC compiler which

  50 </I>&gt;<i> I've had a good poke around on the redhat updates site and there is a newer

  53 </I>&gt;<i> However, there is a whole section on the RedHat web site that explains what

  60 </I>&gt;<i> I guess until gcc 2.97 or the new version of services becomes more compliant

  65 </I>&gt;<i> Can someone please try and explain to me where this leaves me?

  67 </I>upgrade GCC to 3.1. It seems to work fine.
