Re: [gentoo-user] using g++ instead of gcc to build abiword

[Robert Persson]

Thanks Richard

I'm glad you pointed out that gcc version thing to me.  But it doesn't change 
anything about compiling abiword unfortunately, with or without using g++.

The strange thing is that abiword-2.2.10 (the version I currently have 
installed) was only released last month sometime.  So between then and now 
something has changed on my system to prevent it compiling properly.  If gcc 
hasn't changed then what on earth could it be?
