Hello,

I do not know if this letter is going to be of any help for you
because I do not know if you have a problem with writing modules for
OpenDX.  I have written two modules (I am not an expert) for OpenDX in
C++ and I have got no problems with OpenDX.  There was one problem
with GCC 3.1 though.  It was:

> included from /usr/local/dx-4.2.0/dx/include/dx/dx.h:56,
>                  from ImportHDF5Field.cc:1:
> /usr/local/dx-4.2.0/dx/include/dx/array.h:481: parse error before `||'

The problem can be cured with CHANGING (so far I do not know a better
solution) the dx/include/dx/array.h header file on line 481 from:
                            void (*or)(int, Pointer, Pointer), Pointer d);
to:
                            void (*)(int, Pointer, Pointer), Pointer d);

This change can be made, because we are allowed to stip a parameter's
name in a function declaration.  For some reason the compiler
interprets the 'or' name as the '||' operator.  We had this problem on
a Linux with GCC 3.2 and on a Mac with GCC 3.1.

You can have a look how to build a C++ module by examining the C++ module
