[C++-SIG] CXX compiler errors on Linux

[eric jones]

Hello,

Is CXX still under active development?  I noticed the CVS has been quiet for
a while.

I grabbed the latest CVS and tried to compile the Demo on RH6.2 with
egcs-2.91.66.  It failed with the error message listed below.  Is there a
gcc compiler that compiles CXX correctly, or does anyone have a patches to
CXX that work with 2.91.66?

thanks,
eric
