Oh well, there is nothing like smell of gun (gnu?) powder in the morning... On more serious note -- latest octave compiles out of the box on RedHat 8.0 (which is gcc 3.2 based). If you'd rather stick with rh7.3 you can install entire gcc toolchain into /usr/local. There were people who build rpms of different gcc versions for redhat, but I do not have links off the top of my head. Technically you can install multiple gcc on top of each other (and they will not interfere), but that will mess up rpm database if you are not building rpm packages first. You can also install latest python on rh7.3 as long as it is a separate package from the python 1.5 that RH has included (i.e. you do not "upgrade" 1.5 to 2.2.*). RH relies on python for system maintenance scripts and python versions 1.5 and 2.2 are different enough to break those scripts.
