A new gcc version might fix the compile problem, but then again it might not.

It just takes a hour to download an modern distributions ISO image, burn it to CD, run it, install, within a half an hour you'll have a working distribution fully up to date. Modern distributions are really slick, if you are worried about it just grab a disk and install it on a fresh disk. Having done quite a bit of distro hopping in the last six months I've settled upon Kubuntu 7.10 for all my machines here, work great for me for OpenGL dev work. I find the the package management system is what is the greatest asset for me, makes it very easy to pull down all the dependencies required to create a dev environment. > Looking instead at the error, it seems to be declaring a new variable, > "position" > so probably a gcc problem, as I don't see how the kernel version would > affect this error message. No, the compiler error won't be affected by this. The flight gear error might well be solved. You could also try using the SVN version of the OSG, or the 2.3.1 dev release, I don't recall of any compile fixes to the osgtext example (it normally compiled just fine under 2.2), but it is something else you could try. > I'll go back and look into compiling a new gcc, the last time I tried, > it took a few days. Just upgrade the OS, it take far far far less time and its fun too and at the end of the day you'll have a slicker development environment.
