Hi Wes, >I have a question though about gcc -x c++/g++. Are these the same thing? What's the difference? They are not the same thing. gcc executes the C toolchain, and puts in C flags, C defines and C libraries. g++ executes the C++ toolchain, and puts in C++ flags, C++ defines, and C++ libraries. What all the little fiddly bits are I'm not 100% sure. Use the -v flag (verbose) to see what they produce for you on your system. Careful use of gcc can make it behave identical to g++. But why bother? :-) HTH, --Eljay
