Not quite. The problem is, that the gcc package not only delivers |
| 11 |
the gcc compiler package, but also some libraries. Further, gcc |
| 12 |
4.1.x compiled programs are not quite compatible with gcc 3.x compiled |
| 13 |
programs - that's a problem, when you compile a library with 4.x |
| 14 |
and still have 3.x compiled programs around. |

You really should recompile everything when you update to gcc 4.1.x |
| 20 |
from 3.x. See the GCC upgrade doc at http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/gcc-upgrading.xml |

<rm_-rf_> The real value of KDE is that they inspired and push the |

development of GNOME :-) |
