The __register_frame_info problems come from mixing libraries
compiled with egcs with executables compiled with gcc-2.7.

My best guess is as to what is going on:

 The original set of RPM's that were put up on the FTP site
 were compiled with gcc-2.7.

 They were replaced with a completely new set compiled 
 with egcs. Many of the release numbers (-1, -2) didn't 
 change. A few did. (This newer set fixed a number of
 packaging problems in the initial set). 

 If you just upgraded to the ones  with newer release
 numbers, you'll get a mixed set of gcc and egcs 
 packages. 

So, my suggested procedure for fixing your system if you
see this problem is to grab the entire set of RPM's
on the FTP site currently, and do:

 rpm --force -Uvh *

Which will cause everything to be replaced, whether RPM
thinks it needs it or not.

(Don't get into the habit of using --force ;-)

Let me know if that works,
                                        Owen
