:( no luck for me.

I got the following errors when installing vpython-4.beta26 on Fedora 9:
/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.3.0/../../../../include/c++/4.3.0/typeinfo:41: 
error: expected `}' before end of line
147 
/usr/lib/gcc/i386-redhat-linux/4.3.0/../../../../include/c++/4.3.0/typeinfo:41: 
error: expected declaration before end of line

I have contacted the fedora-devel team about this one ^^^

I got these errors after running make when installing vpython-3.2.9 on 
Fedora 9:
In file included from ../include/displaylist.h:12,
from ../include/prim.h:8,

from arrow.cpp:4:

arrow.cpp:241: error: expected `}' at end of input

Does anyone have any ideas?
