hey good eyes! http://la.gg/thmb/snapshot1.png

but how exactly did this happen? i havent messed with anything other then updating the kernel. it looks like slackware shipped like this?

what would be the correct way to fix this? should i just reinstall the whole gcc package from source? i think first i am going to try to find the older slackware g++ package first, wonder why it was upgraded in the first place?

ok quick search and i found this: http://slackware.osuosl.org/slackwar...3.6-i486-1.tgz

might be an easy fix, but still, why would slackware do this?

Maybe you upgraded it before doing the kernel upgrade without noticing it by downloading from -current (now -11.0) which is version 3.4.6. I'd recommend to install g++ 3.3.6 because upgrading the whole gcc probably will requiere another packages to be upgraded.

well that was the problem, i installed the g++ 3.3.6 from a slack package. dont know what 3.4.6 was doing on there, it was in my home directory so i must have downloaded it and installed it for some reason and forget

that fixed my problems althogh i still cant install the programs i was wanting for other reasons now but i will read up on that later

anyways, thanks for the help!
