Yeah, that is kind of odd. (Was the 3.0.1 configured with default arguments, out of curiosity?) > Would that also explain why I was never able to build libstdc++-v3 with > configuring with --enable-cheaders=(c|c_shadow) ? Doubtful; the cheaders issues usually don't depend on anything already in $prefix. What's more, the cheaders situation itself is twisted. :-) > Perhaps configure could check for the previous version condition and warn > the user? The reason this was never done before is that a previous installation of an earlier version can look an awful lot like a previous installation of the same version, i.e., running "make install; make install" shouldn't fail the second time. The proper solution is to do for the C++ headers what we've done all along for other parts of the compiler, and install them in a directory containing the version number. Work on this is already happening. Phil -- If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home and leave us in peace.
