You know, I had the same problem when I selected the home/office install the
first time, (not knowing any better, thinking a compilier was sorta integral
to a unix system) in any case, I just reinstalled using the development
workstation option, and everything is good.

Subject: RPM dependency hell
I have 2.0 installed and all I wanted was to install the java compiler
(gcc-java), but this doesn't come with 2.0 AFAIK, so I figured I'd just
upgrad the compiler to a new version. It turns out I have to install
something like 14 packages to do this:
binutils-2.11.90.0.25-0a.ppc.rpm glibc-2.2.4-5c.ppc.rpm
cpp-3.0.1-0.ppc.rpm glibc-common-2.2.4-5c.ppc.rpm
gcc-3.0.1-0.ppc.rpm libgcc-3.0.1-0.ppc.rpm
gcc-c++-3.0.1-0.ppc.rpm libgcj-3.0.1-0.ppc.rpm
gcc-g77-3.0.1-0.ppc.rpm libgcj-devel-3.0.1-0.ppc.rpm
gcc-java-3.0.1-0.ppc.rpm libstdc++-3.0.1-0.ppc.rpm
gcc-objc-3.0.1-0.ppc.rpm libstdc++-devel-3.0.1-0.ppc.rpm
But then when I try to do that, there are something like 20 packages
which depend on the old verison of libstdc++
Actually this wouldn't have been much of a problem, since I don't even
want gcc-c++ (heretic that I am) which depends on libstdc++,
unfortunately, gcc-objc (which I want) depends on gcc-c++. Why is that?
And is there anyway out of this dependency hell?
