what distribution are you using?<br />
<br />
if you are using RedHat, then you can just install the RPMs for egcs-c++<br />
<br />
for example, using RedHat 6.2 as an example, from a command line:<br />
<br />
su -<br />
--&gt; enter root passwd &lt;--<br />
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom<br />
cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS<br />
rpm --install egcs-c++-1.1.2-30.i386.rpm<wbr /><br />
exit<br />
<br />
at this point, you would have the libraries and header files you need.<br />
<br />
good luck,<br />

if you are using RedHat, then you can just install the RPMs for egcs-c++

for example, using RedHat 6.2 as an example, from a command line:

su -
--> enter root passwd <--
mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom
cd /mnt/cdrom/RedHat/RPMS
rpm --install egcs-c++-1.1.2-30.i386.rpm
exit

at this point, you would have the libraries and header files you need.

good luck,
