The only compilation problem I had was with the multimedia/arts stuff. One particular class (I forget which) had a mixed in a couple of virtual base classes which gcc didn't like ("recompile all code with -fhuge-objects"). Since I had pretty much no intention of doing so (and spending another weekend waiting for it all to build) I just dropped that class. I'm surprised nobody else mentioned this though. jan * Software is not supposed to behave like this, I know :-) -- jan grant, ILRT, University of Bristol. http://www.ilrt.bris.ac.uk/ Tel +44(0)117 9287163 Fax +44 (0)117 9287112 RFC822 jan.grant@bris.ac.uk Unfortunately, I have a very good idea how fast my keys are moving.
