Dear Managers,

I'm sorry for my late summary but I was too busy.


My original question was:
> Currently we are running DU 4.0b and we are planning a new install of
> 4.0d this weekend without major changing of configuration. We compiled
> dozens of software packages under 4.0b: e.g. gcc2.8.1,
> libstd++,sendmail8.9, bind4.9.7, qpop2.53, samba, groff1.11,
> apache1.3.1 with sevaral modules, mysql3.21.29, postgresql6.1.1,etc.
>
> May we install them without recompilation? If not, which softwares
> need (suggested) new build?

Thanks for everyone who replied:

The solution:

If you plan *minor upgrade* you shouldn't need to recompile public
domain packages, but it's recommended to re-install via "make install"
most of them.

Anyway, I recompiled gcc and libstd++ because I found some directories
named with current DU version.
