Ditto. The newer, hipper, cooler include files were ratified in ANSI Standard C++ in 1997. Not that that helps you. > As for what you should do to fix it, probably nothing.

If you're *NOT* able to build something because of these warnings, it may be that one of the makefiles has set g++'s -Werror flag. Find that flag and destroy it.
