  Hi,
 
       I had a very troublesome morning today, partly due to negligence
  of various people, apparently including egcs maintainers etc. First, I
  wanted to upgrade egcs to gcc-2.95 on my RedHat-6.0 system. You probably
  know that things come in "RPM"s for RedHat (a way to install stuff), but
  nothing was announced on teh RedHat mailing lists or egcs.cygnus.com
  So, I went to ftp://ftp.redhat.com/contrib and found   gcc-2.95*rpm
  gcc-c++-2.95*rpm and the like. Downloaded those. Trying to install..
  they conflict w egcs-1.1.2 (that came w Linux). Ok, removed egcs and
  egcs-c++ .. updated binutils to the latest...  trying to compile a
  C++ hello world program, it can't find iostream.h .. ok, looked around,
  found libstdc++ RPMs (including devel). Installed them, but the previous
  version was needed by a bunch of programs including KDE and netscape, 
  so I have two ATM.
    Now, I can compile  cout << " hello" <<endl; 
    but it does not run giving me "Illegal instruction (core dumped)"
   
  RPMs are signed by Hung Quan <binaire@videotron.ca>
  (By the way, RPM install complained because it could not find
  user binaire... so was installing things as root)

  I suggest that egcs maintainers take care of RPMs for gcc-2.95
  and (a) announce all necessary RPMs and the install sequence on
  their site, (b) dub the announcement through RedHat RPM lists
  
   thanks,
							Igor
