Hi Kriti, This forum is for GCC, not for Red Hat "GCC" 2.96. I'm not sure of the appropriate forum for Red Hat "GCC" 2.96 support. This URL may be a good spot to start: http://www.redhat.com/advice/speaks_gcc.html (I mention this not because I'm "anti-2.96", but rather, because you may get better answers quicker from a Red Hat "GCC" 2.96 centric help forum.) Sincerely, --Eljay
