Installing cpp-2.95.2-2.i386.rpm on my system with the latest Rawhide bits (including egcs-1.1.2-25.i386.rpm) causes cc to fail: [guest@c130441-j hi]$ cc -o hi hi.c cc: installation problem, cannot exec `cpp': No such file or directory [guest@c130441-j hi]$
Uh, unless I'm missing something, egcs-1.1.2-25.i386.rpm is not part of rawhide (ftp.redhat.com/rawhide). You want either the egcs-1.1.2-25 family of packages or the gcc-2.95 family - not a mixture.
sorry, my bad -- my automated scripts for updating my rawhide system only update already-installed packages, so they failed to detect the transition from egcs/egcs-c++ to gcc/gcc-c++. Thanks for cluing me in.
