Re: [aclug-L] problems compiling C++ programs

[John Goerzen <jgoerzen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

When you are using a libc6 (glibc2) -based system, you have to be
careful about which C++ compiler is used.  I believe RedHat 5.1 has
EGCS as g++, you might want to install and try that.  Debian 2.0 will
give you egcs as g++ as well, or you can use the older g++272.  The
current g++ from FSF is not compatible with libc6 on Linux.
