I first thought I just had forgot to delete a :. But, no, this mistake is even easier to make than that. My /etc/profile had: export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH="$QTDIR/include:$CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH" where $CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH had not been set before. So, taking care to append rather than to set introduced the problem. FWIW, I have complied a lot of packages on this system and did not encounter an unexplained problem related to CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH until gcc. So, people might tend to "trust" their system and blame gcc when this one bites. Cheers, Mike
