Yellow Dog Linux Enhancement Announcement
-----------------------------------------

Package:	compat-gcc
Issue Date:	Jun 02,2003
Priority:	low
Advisory ID: 	YDU-20030602-7


1. 	Topic:

	Updated compat-gcc packages are available.


2. 	Problem:
	
	The compat-gcc package provides a compatibility compiler that is
	compatible with Yellow Dog Linux 2.3.  The version of compat-gcc that
	comes with Yellow Dog Linux 3.0 is missing a compatibility version of
	the g77 fortran compiler.

	Users of g77 that require strict compatibility with a Yellow Dog Linux
	2.3 platform are advised to update to the packages listed in this
	advisory which address the problem.


3. 	Solution:

    	a) Updating via apt...
    	We suggest that you use the apt-get program to keep your
    	system up-to-date. The following command(s) will retrieve
    	and install the fixed version of this update onto your system:

		apt-get update
		apt-get install compat-gcc

    	b) Updating manually...
	Download the updates below and then run the following rpm command.
    	(Please use a mirror site)

		rpm -Fvh [filenames]
		Yellow Dog Linux 3.0
