Fwd: Re: [Ffts-develop] installation problems

[Mark H. <mgh...@ya...>]

Thanks for the note! I haven't heard of anyone trying to install
it on a sun box yet, so this is new territory. :)
 
To start with, I'd grab the most recent version from the CVS
repository... follow the instructions at
 
http://sourceforge.net/cvs/?group_id=9699
 
to pull it all down. The advantage here is that I've generalised
MakeVars a bit, and that might help us out in resolving this.

My first guess is that the problem arises because of
namespaces... versions of gcc before 3.0 don't require you to
explicitly state the namespaces you're using, like std:: which
contains string.
 
Try compiling this bit of code and let me know if it gives you
the same error:
 
#include <iostream>
#include <string>
 
int main( void )
{
    string s( "hello" );
    cout << s << "\n";

    return 0;
}

If my hypothesis is correct, this code will give you the same
error message, but adding the line
 
using namespace std;

before int main( void ) will make the error go away.

If that's the case, it'll require a fair bit of work to solve
your problem, since a tonne of source code files will need to be
edited. Your best bet for getting the FFTS to work, then, would
be to download gcc and install it on your sun box - I'm pretty
sure it's available and know it's free. The best version of gcc
to get is probably 2.96.

I haven't had free will since last year when aliens ate
