Aye, I've covered both those although I'm using legacy compability with
deprecated code here, mostly because of braindead  computerteachers that

according to the ml posts I've read this is bad practice and one should

now this was the real core issue, why it worked with c++ and not with
gcc.. for a while I thought I'd done something very dumb with my system
:)

so thats why it works with c++ and g++ but not with gcc, thanks! :)
