[SciPy-user] weave problem on ubuntu 8.10

That's exactly the problem I wrote about a couple of days ago (with topic "weave/blitz problem"). It's listed as Ticket # 739 in the scipy trac system:

http://www.scipy.org/scipy/scipy/ticket/739 

This seems to happen with g++ version 4.3. As a temporary fix, I installed g++ version 4.2, and then it worked.

I believe this problem will be more common as more people update to newer compilers.
