I am currently using these packages:
ii  g++             2.90.28-0.1    The GNU (egcs) C++ compiler.
ii  libg++272       2.7.2.8-0.1    The GNU C++ libraries (libc6 version).

now.... umm... I see what my problem might be. I am running a 486 and I
think egcs is a pentium optimizing compiler? Could someone who knows more
than me tell me this?
	Now, I do not know what exception handling is, but i know what an
exception is, so with intuition I can tell its a bad thing if it is
broken. However, shared libs scares me more. My shared library system
works fine. I don't know why it can't get that or dynamic loading.

Help! ;)  Perhaps I'll downgrade to g++ 2.7.2.
