Thanks for the gcc info. I have the gcc 3.3.6-i486-1 so I guess this explains why the needed library isn't there. So how do I find gcc-2.95 and build it without damaging my machine? You mentioned a discussion on this list regarding doing that. Where is that? Would it be possible for someone just to email the library to me? I'm using the 2.6.13 kernel under Slackware 10.1.
