Weird, given qt5 is packages in EPEL: http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/6/x86_64/repoview/letter_q.group.html maybe they have some not-yet-upstreamed patch. > However, my experience developing code for a > large organisation with hardware dispersed over a number of sites each with > its own peculiarities of linux support is that it's essential that the final > production version is built with the default system compiler for the target > OS.

I think we could start to add new stuff and see if the g++ 4.4 shipped in RHEL6 is able to cope with it; if not, try to report bugs on RH Bugzilla and see if the compiler team would be able to backport the missing feature. I can assist with this process if needed. -- Gianluca Sforna http://morefedora.blogspot.com http://plus.google.com/+gianlucasforna - http://twitter.com/giallu ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ One dashboard for servers and applications across Physical-Virtual-Cloud Widest out-of-the-box monitoring support with 50+ applications Performance metrics, stats and reports that give you Actionable Insights Deep dive visibility with transaction tracing using APM Insight. http://ad.doubleclick.net/ddm/clk/290420510;117567292;y _______________________________________________ Rdkit-devel mailing list Rdkit-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/rdkit-devel
