The problem is due to STLport incompatibilities. The tripwire folks state
in their doc that STLport at the time was a moving target, so they included
a copy frozen in time in their software. Unfortunately it fails to build
under -CURRENT. Using STLport in ports doesn't work either because of the
issues they mention in their README. Quite short sighted on their part,
however as I've been a software developer for commercial software in a
previous life, I can understand management's reasons for doing what they do
(the old 80/20 rule to get product out the door quickly to generate
revenue). I'm working on a patch.
Cheers,
