Yes the 2.91 egcs was bad news it had bugs in the optimizer and some math functions were just plain broken. You want a later gcc or some precompiled rpms. Somebody could probably build you some static libraries and binaries in the interum; this would require options to configure but wouldn't be hard. Static binaries don't rely on shared libraries and if the code was built on a box with a good compiler you wouldn't have problems with vorbis. They're not joking about egcs 2.91; it broke speak_freely as well at one point and I recall it having problems with certain sections of the kernel source. Regards, Kerry.
