Levi, Upgrading can be a real pain. I haven't had any major problems with 2.96. I am using ALSA, JACK, Ardour, libsndfile, Audacity, Xforge, Glame, LADSPA, and others, all built from source. The only GCC 2.96 problem that I have encountered was a very minor one with Ardour and I found a correction that was functional on 2.95 and 3.x. I wouldn't switch unless you hit an insurmountable problem. Jan On Sat, 2003-01-04 at 21:42, Levi Burton wrote:

Hi, Levi Burton schrieb: It depends. I have both installed on my Debian system. As I develop in C++, g++-3.2 is a great relief, because it's much more standards compliant that 2.9x was. BUT the binary interface for C++ changed in 3.2 so I can only use C++ libraries in my development that were compiled with 3.2 as well. This means, either I compile all libraries again with 3.2, that I use in development, or I wait, until Debian does this for me. This can be a pain, but it only affects C++-software. As I only use a small number of C++ libraries (STL, flext, STK, SndObj) I can live with that, but your mileage may vary. (I cannot speak for RedHat systems). ciao -- Frank Barknecht
