Version: egcs-2.91.60 19981201 (egcs-1.1.1 release) (i686-pc-linux-gnulibc1) System: Linux Redhat 5.3 (i believe) I tried to compile the file test.cpp with "g++ -ansi -Wall test.cpp" but it causes "Internal compiler error 980711." I usesd "g++ -ansi -Wall -E test.cpp -o test_pre.cpp" to get the preprocessed file. Holger Buchholz holger.buchholz@stud.uni-bayreuth.de
