- Why don't we all just throw away our machines and give up?
-
- Seriously now, AIX 3.1 is stuck with X11-R3! I believe that most
- RS6000 sites have swallowed hard and upgraded to 3.2. I think it's
- about time libg++ did the same.
-
- Otherwise, please change the README file in libg++-2.3 to state that it
- doesn't work under AIX 3.2. This will save lots of people lots of time.
- Better yet, mention it in gcc-2.3.2/INSTALL - this is where folks will
- look first.
