I checked the GCC versions. Suse 12.1 has gone up to 4.6 while the previous versions were 4.5. I installed Suse 12.1 on a spare drive and hunted down GCC 4.5 rather than the default install of 4.6. In short, no crashes. Either GCC 4.6 is buggered or my install is. I will try un installing GCC 4.6 tomorrow and then re install and see what that does. I did hunt down the crash points and note the file name and line number but it is a bit premature to be looking at FLTK for errors. A second opinion on GCC 4.6 might be in order. A note on suse 12.1. The XFCE in rather nice neither spartan nor bloated out like the Mint Linux XFCE. Xununtu did not like my raid card when it came to the point of writing GRUB. _______________________________________________ fltk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.easysw.com/mailman/listinfo/fltk
