Hi, |
| 16 |
I got stuck in that gcc upgrade problem this last week and |
| 17 |
unfortunately couldn't make the upgrade work. After gcc-3.4.6 was |
| 18 |
supposedly upgraded I started running into packages that didn't |
| 19 |
rebuild correctly even though I *thought* I had followed the gcc |
| 20 |
upgrade wiki faithfully. In the end I gave up and rubuilt the machine |
| 21 |
from scratch. Probably took me longer but now it's working well. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
So beyond 5 hours, it's the confidence starting out that when you |
| 24 |
get done it's going to be successful. This experience tested my faith |
| 25 |
a bit. |
