That's a wrapper over GCC that parses and colorizes the output. I can't think of the name of the program off the top of my head, but I suspect that if you do an "rpm -qa | grep gcc", you'll see the package related to it. Or Google for "color gcc" or something like that, and I'm sure you'll find something. Once you find the package, you can probably just remove it and life will (probably) go on like normal.

On the latest SuSE 9.0 with GCC 3.3.1 I see that compile errors are coulourised in an xterm (and Konsole btw). I guess that is a new GCC feature. It looks nice, but I would like to turn it off. Is there an environment variable to turn this off? Jarl
