New issue 40 by enno.mid...@gmail.com: Casacore won't compile with
gcc4.6/g++4.6
http://code.google.com/p/casacore/issues/detail?id=40

Hello,


tried to compile casacore on a freshly installed Linux Mint system
(essentially this is Debian Testing). The gcc/g++ versions are 4.6.1

Both using scons and cmake didn't work - there was the same error:

In file included from /opt/casacore-1.3.0/casa/Arrays/ArrayBase.h:34:0,

Switching back to gcc/g++ v4.4 did the trick:

scons --with-cc=/usr/bin/gcc-4.4 --with-cxx=/usr/bin/g++-4.4 --prefix=/tmp
--wcs-root=/opt/

1.3 is fairly old so could you check if "trunk" builds. A new release will
be made soon (off trunk).
