#21 Error compiling in linux

[Ben Pearson]

I have been trying to install the linux version of Ctypes in
python, and keep getting an error message. This is the
2nd time I tried running the install, hence the lack of
large amounts of output. I tried installing the latest 2
versions, 0.9.5 and 0.9.6, both had the same problem.
Thanks for the help

I had the same error with ctypes-0.9.6, using latest CVS
with gcc4 works fine (branch_1_0)

Fixed in CVS.
