Small question about egcs1.1.1

[jon]

This probably is a trivial question for you guys, but I'm confused.

My Redhat5.2 dist comes with egcs packages.  They actually install a
file called,"egcs" which can be run and says it's egcs:

egcs-2.90.29 980515 (egcs-1.0.3 release)

Now, I need 1.1.1 to run a program called Mind's Eye.  However while
compiling and installing the 1.1.1 dist goes fine without error, I'm
confused as the to final state of my system.

I have lots of progs in /usr/local/bin:

-rwxr-xr-x   2 root     root       181159 Mar 14 15:10 c++
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        99784 Mar 14 15:10 c++filt
-rwxr-xr-x   2 root     root       181159 Mar 14 15:10 g++
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       186069 Mar 14 14:51 g77
-rwxr-xr-x   2 root     root       176425 Mar 14 15:10 gcc
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root        69482 Mar 14 15:10 gcov
-rwxr-xr-x   2 root     root       176425 Mar 14 15:10
i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       129860 Mar 14 15:10 protoize
-rwxr-xr-x   1 root     root       119136 Mar 14 15:10 unprotoize

yet, nowhere an egcs!  What happens when a prog calls egcs itself?  Does
this have to do with a "cross compiler"?  I've looked everywhere on your
site, and while you have a so called "FAQ" about cross compiling, it
never answers the obvious question about what the heck it is!

Thanks for any help.  I'm just trying to get C++ NURBS Library going so
Mind's eye will work.

Thanks,
Jon
