Novice build question

[Rick Schumeyer]

I've been trying to build libstdc++ on a Linux box (RH 6.2) for days now
without
success.  Let me back up and ask some basic questions.

First, what version of gcc should I be using? There is gcc-2.95.2,
and also egcs-20000703 ?

What version of libstdc++ should I use ?  Again, there is
libstdc++-2.90.8 and I also found a 20000420-libstdc++-v3.

I have tried various combinations of these to no avail.

BTW, I have successfully compiled gcc-2.95.2 (without libstdc++-v3).
This
was pretty easy: configure/make bootstrap/make install.

I appreciate any help!
