What a hell, thanks for the pointers. The source of the trouble seems
to be Redhat including 2.96 as default compiler for RH 7.0. Here's the
solution that's working for me. Redhat has a compiler update
for 7.0 that updates the compiler to 2.96-69 (12/18/00). This seems
like a bad idea on top of a bad idea, but there you go.
With GCC 2.96-69 Pose builds but core dumps right away. I rebuilt it
again with the "-O2" option removed from POSER_CXXFLAGS, but leaving -O2
enabled in POSER_CFLAGS. Pose seems to work fine although I've only
been using it for an hour or so. The current compiler bug is
likely somewhere in the optimizer for C++ code for the 2.96-69 compiler.
I have a pretty generic redhat 7.0 machine, here are a few things
I tried for building Pose that didn't work:
I thought I might go back to GCC 2.95.2, the current stable GCC release.
Unfortunately it won't build for mysterious reasons. It fails while
building libio. I think it's some weird thing between /usr/include
and 2.95 in RH 7.0, but I'm not clever enough to sort it out. I
would still like to do this if anyone has any luck building 2.95.2 on
a RH 7.0 system.
Someone suggesting using "kgcc" as the compiler for pose. This is
an RPM in redhat 7.0 that is a 2.91 compiler. This is only a C
compiler, there's no C++ compiler so that's no good for building Pose.
Anyway, this whole fiasco of redhat including the 2.96 compiler has me
really annoyed at the moment, but the recipe above seems to work
okay.
