Hello,
i have red hat linux 7.3 running at my place. i got gcc 2.96 installed by default on my system. while installing an application, it told me to upgrade gcc. so i installed gcc 3.2. it works fine. while installing my internal modem, it told me "gcc not found" so i did "locate gcc" in the process i found a lot many "*gcc2.96.*.so" files in the /usr/lib dir. i removed all of them then i did "cleanlinks" after that my x server is not starting. i tried installing gcc 3.2 again, but it did not help.
plz help urgently, as i am not able 2 do my usual stuff, & have 2 use the crappy windoze instead.
ne help wud b greately appreciated.

Never do such thing. there may b progz ( X server in your case ) dependent on them you shud hav moved them to other place
after that my x server is not starting. i tried installing gcc 3.2 again, but it did not help.

$ startx &> err
if it wants the *gcc2.96* files try symlinking them to the new gcc .so files
