Yeah, I posted an additional followup shortly after you sent this, on which I did CC the package maintainer. Unfortunately, the list server sat on both your message and my second follow-up for about 18 hours. > for an additional piece of information, it would be nice to know where > this comes from--fig2dev works just fine on my system.

I'm running Apple's X11, and it's conceivable (thought I think unlikely) that GCC 3.3 can't digest something in one of the X header files. Possibly more likely is that some strange interaction between the X header files and the transfig source, probably involving C macros, is causing problems for GCC 3.3.
