Re: [AD] Release Candidate 2

["Gillius" <gillius@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I am developing GNE on Mandrake 8.1.  I am pretty sure I picked the 
development install but it is possible I installed it myself...  Anyways, 
gcc 2.9x and the old libstdc++ was on my system.  I later upgraded to gcc 
3.x and the new libstdc++ which was also on the distro CDs, so I'm almost 
positive (unless I did something during install I didn't know about), that 
gcc 2.96 is the default compiler with the old libstdc++ in Mandrake 8.1.
