Thank You for your response >I believe the "ISO C++ forbids" errors are due to gcc trying to be more ISO- >complient, and later versions more so. For a quick solution downloading an >older version of gcc would probably work... Check the FAQ for info on >installing multiple version of gcc on the same system (I think you need to use - >-prefix). I will have to try that if i can't come up with a way to fix the problem. I guess the main problem is that it isn't my code that is having the problem. One of my files includes a file (straits.h) which comes with g++ (std/straits.h) that is throwing the errors and not compiling. Thus i was wondering if when i include bastring.h, which is the file that does the include of std/strait, if i should be using something besides bastring. I tried just include <string> but that just goes and does an include on bastring which causes the same problems. I have searched the entire system and there is only 1 straits.h, just wondering if bastring is no longer compatible with the latest gcc and if i should be using something else to get locking strings. If the file exists under the g++ tree shouldn't it be able to compile? Christopher Regan Factory Applications Programmer (845) 902-1313 "That's why i'm easy, i'm easy like sunday morning."
