You should be able to move a c++ (not g++) compiler to any version of RH and it works!!! LIB's and all period, no explanation needed. Fact, it doesn't. The question is why. The explanation is that it is native to c++ and only c++ was stated. I was pointing out that actually it is a problem of the community that I believe is related to the resources available to the developers. The individual in question made a statement that effectively, it should be accepted without complaints and I said and I still say that is dumb. This needs to be fixed to where anyone can select a new compiler and not worry that it will break everything else and you need resources to test it against all previous versions. If you don't then no one will accept open community software period. -- redhat-list mailing list unsubscribe mailto:redhat-list-request@xxxxxxxxxx?subject=unsubscribe https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/redhat-list
