Dag: This is as "pure" of a RHEL3 installation as they come. The only things installed on the box that don't come from RedHat are java rpms from Sun (which usually stick to the /usr/java directories), some commercial, script-based software for backup and recovery, Webmin, and an accounting application that relies on the JRE. Everything else is just packages from RHEL3, maintained from up2date. It was installed about 2 & 1/2 years ago. RH Engineering thinks there is something broken from the libgcc installation. I have to go back into the support queue to see what the next step is. I was hoping to wait for RHEL5 to be shipped before I did a bare-metal install on them, but I might find it cleaner to put on RHEL4 now. I'm not sure. They are 400 miles away from me, with no in-house technical staff. So I can't easily remove the updated packages by overwriting them with their prior tape backup, but I assume the various configuration files will be. I'm wondering if I can get them back to a state of grace prior to the havoc. Suggestions? Scully <snip> The fact that on a RHEL3 he sees the GCC_4.2.0 requireÃment probably means that he has been mixing packages build for RHEL4 (or another distribution with gcc 4) on his RHEL3. This is not something that happens on a normal system if you stick to what Red Hat provides.
