[bt-devel] trouble with ./configure on Linux Mandrake 8.2

[Martin Gruner]

Hello Stephen,

well another thing you could try is to remove the gcc/g++2.96 files from your 
computer - using gc3 then -, since you cannot use them anyway atm. I'm not 
sure though if BibleTime and gcc3 work together well already.
