I'm running fc4 x86. The default compiler of course is 4.0.0. If you have ever tried to build a kde app you know that this compiler is blacklisted. What I've done is to build 2 different versions off gcc, 3.3.6 and 4.1.1. After having installed these I uninstalled 4.0.0 because of dependencies (libgcc_s.so.1, libstdc++.so.6, libstdc++.so.5). Now I see that I have 2 versions of libgcc_s.so.1. If you do something like: ldd /usr/lib/firefox-1.0.4/firefox-bin you end up with: libstdc++.so.6 => /opt/gcc-4.1.1/lib/libstdc++.so.6 (0x00111000) libgcc_s.so.1 => /opt/gcc-3.3.6/lib/libgcc_s.so.1 (0x001f1000) I don't have a very clear understanding of what these libraries provide, and have the feeling that I just introduced general badness into the system. Anyone have any ideas how to proceed? Basically I need to know if this is acceptable, not acceptable, down right ugly, and if it is down right ugly how best to fix the problem I've created. Thanks in advance, Steven
