Re: Problem compiling kdebase...

[edg72@xxxxxxx]

Hi Dan,

Thanks, I upgraded to gcc 4.2.3 and now kdebase compiles. I checked the GNU site and found out that GCC 4.2 was released just about a year ago. 
Requiring GCC 4.2 or higher for KDE 4.1 thus might be a bit too much. For example, Gentoo still installs GCC 4.1.2 by default since 4.2.3 is not declared stable for most architectures.
I have no clue about other distributions though...

Best Regards,
Erik

Also on the KDE dashboard it seems kdebase compiles just fine... I already cleared my local copy and did a "svn co" to assure I really have the latest and greatest, but this did not solve the problem.
