Hi Celine,

the symlinks should be ok. There should be the g++ as well in both
versions. I haven't got access to a Ubuntu machine right now, only my
openSUSE one, so I cannot check how that works on Ubuntu, sorry.

For the differences and relations of gcc, cpp and g++ this might be helpful:

Good luck with this. However, it might be better using Frank's suggested
solution.

Cheers,
Torbjoern

This time, it wouldn't let me install gcc-4.1-base (because I had a newer version installed). It wouldn't let me remove the newer version, because it's an "essential part" of my system.
