Subject: tetex and PassiveTeX in Red Hat (was Re: DOCBOOK-APPS: html cosmetics)

Tools", it lists the following dependencies available in Raw Hide: libxml2 (at least 2.4.6-1) libxslt sgml-common and xml-common (at least 0.6.3-3) tetex (at least 1.0.7-35) xmltex passivetex (at least 1.11-1) docbook-style-xsl (at least 1.47-1) docbook-dtd412-xml All well and good, and I'm used to getting packages from Raw Hide, and it's not normally a problem, but unfortunately tetex-1.0.7-35 is now gone! (all of the other packages install fine). Again, not normally a problem (after all it says "at least 1.0.7-35"), so it's been replaced with 1.0.7-38, which again would be all fine and good, except that it's been compiled with the new GCC (as noted in the changelog of Dec 06). tetex now depends on libstdc++.so.4 and refuses to install on a Red Hat 7.2 system, and it now looks like all the packages in Raw Hide have/or are beginning to switch to using GCC 3.[01], and this means that in order to install tetex I'd need to replace my entire GCC toolchain and upgrade the compat-gcc packages (which are now "compat" for 7.2 and gcc-2.96, not 6.2), and then the applications which depended on having compat- packages for 6.2 (the old egcs branch of GCC) would break...arggh... and then I'm in dependency hell!! So is there any way to smoothly install the necessary tools to use the XSL/FO/PassiveTex toolchain short of wholesale committing to the entire (unstable) distro of Raw Hide? (I know I could probably download the SRPM for tetex and recompile against the old gcc, but the SRPM alone is about 60Mb and it seems overkill to do this to install a few patches against tetex, which are effectively just the changes from tetex-1.0.7.30 [what's distributed with RH 7.2] to tetex-1.0.7-38. It would also be nice to be able to upgrade the binary without having to fiddle around manually with the ".cnf" files in tetex, which are just completely opaque to me [not being a great TeX-pert].)
