OK - I'll give it a go (tho' last time I ventured into testing I wound 
up having to re-install my system from scratch - a bunch of stuff was 
upgraded that I didn't want upgraded, masses of dependancies were broken 
etc.)

I do have gcc-3.0 installed - wonder if that would work?

So - how do I set 3.0 (or 3.2) as the default (it's currently 2.95)?

Thanks.
