hi,

i'm not sure about rh8 as i use mandrake, but sometimes there is 
confusion with the new binary of gcc being gcc-3.x - you might need to 
look at the rpms on your red hat disc and see if they also provided gcc 
2.96 - its possible to have both on your system at once, i've been 
running mine this way for a while as some older source code doesnt 
recognise gcc-3.0 . cc is c compiler.
