It did compile with GCC 3.2.3 and GCC 3.4 (both directly downloaded from a GNU mirror; i.e. no additional patches) and Redhat's GCC 2.96 on RH7.3 (installed from a RPM). Either your distribution (it seems you're running a Slackware system and I don't have any experience/knowledge about Slackware) has added a few patches and thereby unfortunately some bugs creeped in OR (what I suspect) something else gets in the way before the right header is included (you don't have by chance a file named "ctype.h" lying around somewhere in your source dir?). OR it's something completely different... You can just run your code trough the C pre processor: g++ -E main.cc > main.ii Then, have a look at the main.ii file. Does it contain references to /usr/include/ctype.h? E.g: # 1 "/usr/include/ctype.h" 1 3 If it does, is there some code which reads extern int isalnum (int) throw (); ??? It should be there. Usually. ;-) Maybe you can try upgrading your compiler? I mean, GCC 3.2.3 is already a bit dated. -- claudio
