I am not sure I fully understood the problem. Shouldn't using the
std::string member function c_str() circumvent the warning message?

(The technical issue is that Coot uses STL strings which can return a const
char*, whereas mmdb uses pstr which is typedef'ed to a const char*. From gcc
4.3 these are no longer equivalent for some reason.).
For now it is just a warning, so you can ignore it. We're looking into a
proper fix.

Dear all [mmdb users and authors],
I've upgraded to Fedora 9 and now I'm trying to build coot which also
requires mmdb. Now, F9 comes with gcc 4.3 which seems to be
incompatible with mmdb (I think I'm using mmdb-1.0.8) as it gives many
hundreds of the following (and others):
warning: deprecated conversion from string constant to 'char*'
Is this a known issue? Is there a way to get a quick fix?
Suggestions, fixes etc most welcome.
