Thanks! First let me apologize for a mistake I made in my original post. I meant to type that I had looked at the macros (e.g., LOG4CXX_INFO) and decided to try "logger->setLevel(log4cxx::Level::getInfo())" instead, which seems to work.
Should the "Short introduction to log4cxx" http://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/manual/Introduction.html be updated to add a warning that the examples are for 0.9.7? By the way, I tracked down the forum message I mentioned previously that mentioned the Level:: issue. It's one you wrote dated May 29, 2006, at 10:06 AM, responding to Jitendra Kharc. Anyway, thanks again. -----Original Message----- From: Curt Arnold [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, August 06, 2007 12:28 PM To: Log4CXX User Subject: Re: Level:: symbols On Aug 6, 2007, at 11:29 AM, Wilfong, Paul wrote: > On the log4cxx site, there is a "Short introduction to log4cxx". > http://logging.apache.org/log4cxx/manual/Introduction.html > > > It includes the following example to set level: > // Now set its level.

Use of log4cxx 0.9.7 is strongly discouraged due to a large number of issues that have been fixed in the SVN. Unfortunately, we have not yet been able to get an ASF release out to replace that pre-ASF release. Use of non-local static variables (like log4cxx::Level::INFO) have been the caused of a lot of problems in log4cxx. I had tried to preserve the log4cxx::Level::INFO and the other levels, but their continued presence cause problems on some platforms and there is no way to do them right. So any code that used log4cxx::Level::INFO will to been changed to use log4cxx::Level::getInfo().
