[Visualpython-users] Compilation error "no class template named `random_access_iterator'" (redhat 8.0 + gcc 3.2 + python 2.2.1)

[<shu...@po...>]

Dear all,

I'd like to report that in compiling vpython in redhat 8.0 (gcc 3.2 and 
python 2.2.1) I encountered the same error that was reported some time 
ago to the list. Here's the excerpt:

CXX/Include/CXX_Objects.h:1077: no class template named

    ' in `std'

I have applied all necessary changes discussed previously.

I guess the problem is due to some missing headers in the C++ library 
files in the gcc 3.2 compiler suite that comes with redhat 8.0. I have 
not tried reverting to gcc 2.95 as suggested in one of the messages 
posted. Has anyone done that and got success?

Regards,
ST
