Indeed, I was able to compile your snapshot using gcc/++ 4.3 and the
python 2.5 headers, with mysql, python and ruby config options. Very nice.

I am still having one problem that is showing up in all versions of
quickfix that I am trying. When I try the --with-java option my compile is
getting stuck on the "Building jar....quickfix.jar" line, with a java
process running.  The java process seems to just hang. If I go to src/java
and do "ant jar" it will build the quickfix.jar in 5 seconds. I take it
there is something wrong with my system, but I cannot nail it down. Any
ideas anyone?
