problem compiling openvrml 0.15.9
2005-12-12 14:30
Hi.

I am trying to compile openvrml 0.15.9 to get the mozilla plugin. I had 
to install a couple of the dependencies - the biggest and most time 
consuming one being boost-1.33.1. I also had to recompile mozilla to 
grab the development includes/libraries that I normally get rid of when 
I compile it. After getting the libraries into place, the compile worked 
for quite a while without problems, but then I ran into this large 
stumbling block which seems to be right at the end! (just my luck huh?)

Can someone please suggest how to resolve this ?

Would this version of openvrml not be compatible with the latest boost 
maybe?

Thanks,
