Wow. Thanks for the clue. Simgear and FGFS compile OK here now. > It did here.

This probably wouldn't happen on a stable release, but is not too shocking on a "testing" release ... which is where squeeze is at the moment. As the saying goes, it's cold out on the leading edge.

Yeah, but previous versions don't support my fancy new video card. So I am committed to squeeze for non-FG reasons. I've spent years of my life running "testing" releases, and it hasn't killed me yet. I'm careful about the network security -- layers upon layers of firewalling -- and sometimes I get annoyed by needless incompatibilities and bit-rot (sox, cryptoloop) ... but all in all, the hassle of using a testing release is negligible compared to the other hassles in my life. More importantly, the general rule is that development should "aim for the moving target". That is, aim for whatever will be out there when the product is released, not necessarily what's out there now. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Let Crystal Reports handle the reporting - Free Crystal Reports 2008 30-Day trial.
