Hi Chuck Most likely it isn't gcc2.95.3 but where the libs and what libs are installed. I had to install slack8 on a few systems now and I have been less then happy with my experiences. 7.1 was a great distro if you updated it to gcc295.2 and what ever other updates were on the contrib disk. I was a die hard slack fan for the longest time. But as of this most resent release I think it is junk. I have switched all of my new machines to running the debian woody distro. There I don't usually have to compile anything because it's already compiled and up to date. Packages are updated daily if you use the testing distro such as woody is now. I don't mean to start any distro wars. I just thought I'd let you know my thoughts on slack8 and my experiences with debian so far.
