I want to use 2.7.2 for c++ so I can use STL, but I don't mind using 2.6.3 for C. Can I just install the C package in /usr/local and soft link the c++ compiler to it? What about the C++ libraries? Why is there a pentium gcc for 2.7.2 in the ports, but not a regular one? Any caveats? Thanks, Mike Harding
