Hello James,

definitively not. We are running QF on Debian woody for month. But obviously you did not
use the Debian packages. Following packages are installed for this to work

ii  gcc-3.0                   3.0.4-7                   The GNU C compiler.
ii  gcc-3.0-base              3.0.4-7                   The GNU Compiler Collection (base package).
ii  gcc-3.0-doc               3.0.4-7                   Documentation for the GNU compilers (gcc, gobjc, g++).
ii  ruby                      1.6.7-3                   An interpreter of object-oriented scripting language Ruby
ii  rubyunit                  0.5.2-2                   Simple testing framework for Ruby
ii  libxml2-dev               2.4.19-4                  Development files for the GNOME XML library

Using these packages (and all dependencies) it should be possible to compile QF. Before running
./configure, select the GCC 3.0:

     export CC=gcc-3.0
     export CXX=g++-3.0

GCC 2.95 seems to have problems with exceptions in shared libraries.

Cheers, Jörg
