Good morning, At first guess, I'd say that somehow NOUVEAU_PRIVATE not getting defined properly or is defined in some fashion that the compiler doesn't like. You can run that file through te pre-processor (gcc -E, as opposed to gcc -c) and look at the output and see what NOUVEAU_PRIVATE is defined as. -brian On 1/29/09 7:36 AM, "Yan Seiner" <yan@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > OK, I'm a total newb when it comes to namespaces...
