Problems compiling certain programs

Problems compiling certain programs

[Larry]

I upgraded gcc to gcc-3 and because many programs waarned against
using version 3 to build their programs I went back to gcc-2.95.3.

The origional version on my machine was egcs-2.91.66.

The problem I have run into is now I am having what I believe are linking
errors when a call to iostream, ostream, cerr and so on is made

Here's a few of the actual errors I am getting:



.libs/dispatcher.o(.text+0x5be): undefined reference to `cerr'
.libs/dispatcher.o(.text+0x5c4): undefined reference to `ostream::operator<<
(char const *)'
.libs/dispatcher.o(.text+0x5cc): undefined reference to `endl(ostream &)'

(long)'

.libs/mcopconfig.o(.text+0x8f): undefined reference to `ios virtual table'
.libs/mcopconfig.o(.text+0xe4): undefined reference to
`fstreambase::fstreambase(int, char const *, int, int)'

.libs/trader_impl.o(.text+0x367): undefined reference to `istream::ios
virtual table' .


Not being a programming genius, I'm guessing about whether these are linker
errors or not.  (:


I'm afraid I have too many headers and libraries for too many versions on my
machine and need to remove the unnecessary ones.

The Origional version is in the /usr directory while version 3 and 2.95.3
were installed in the /usr/local directory.

When I built 2.95.3 to replace gcc-3 I installed 2.95.3 over gcc-3. Is that
kosher or did I screw up? 

How can I remove all the headers and Libs I don't need?

BTW, my system is Slackware kernel 2.2.19

HELP!   (: 


Thanks
