Here's a little warning for anyone wishing to try Mandrake 8.0:- EVERY source I've compiled has failed. Sometimes rpms work, sometimes they don't (even though they are MDK rpm's).
I thought I was just being inept(fairly likey really), but why EVERY source? I looked over various BBS's and realised that I was not the only one... a LOT of people were having this problem. Seems that MDK, in an effort to be cutting edge, has sacrificed reliability and used a less stable version of gcc. grrr.

I have had all sorts of trouble compiling under MDK 8.0, we did however successfully get a couple of things to compile at the last ALUG meet at Syleham on my box, but only after renaming some of the development libraries (well symlinking with the correct name anyway).
