I agree.  I guess I have just gotten used to the fact that I often have to 
figure out which 3/4 of my system packages upgrade in order to install new 
software.

I know what you mean.  When I upgraded KDE, my system locked up to the point
where I couldn't even ssh in to shut it down.  Power cycling (*OUCH!*) kindly 
corrupted my mbr:(

The compiler was listed as a RH problem a while ago on their site.   They 
have posted a fix for both the compiler and the libraries on their site as 
well.  I would agree that it might be good to list it in the install docs, or 
even in a FAQ, like the developers of QCAD have done.   Perhaps I can add 
that in somewhere, if anyone has any suggestions?
