Isn't gcc++ also an add on to gcc? If so, why are so many programs 
linked against it?

7.2 to be exact. ;) I've got several binaries from RH9 plugged in 
already (needed files from them, such as libmng, libpng, libjpg, all the 
dependencies for FreeCiv 1.14 (including glibc2.3)).

Which I'm gonna do (BTW, someone has agreed to send me a copy of the RH9 
cd's so I can upgrade via cd)

I've tried that. Then I've removed the RPM's and I couldn't compile 
anything from source!

They exist? I had gcc3 (and associated add-ons) installed, but they got 
removed when I installed gcc-3.2
