Some problems with gcc

[OS]

Hello,

I realise that this is not directly applicable to kdevelop but.....

I have a requirement to use STL templates like 
'vector <int, fooBarClass<int> > v' where fooBarClass is itself a template 
'template <class T> class fooBarClass {'

The only compiler I have found that copes with this is the very latest Red
Hat gcc-2.96-52 along with their cpp

But here's the twist ! I have a simple web page renderer written in C.
Building this single file program with this latest gcc results in it not
executing on the remote server ! It runs locally, not in a server domain, I
mean just running it from the command line and watching the HTML spewing out
into the console. 

I was running gcc-2.95-9.2mdk, which worked fine. But I have also seen these
symptoms with a Mandrake version, I can't however remember which one.

Any help would be appreciated since it is a real pain having to switch
compilers !

Thanks, 
Owen
