RedHat 7.0 uses gcc 2.96 which has some incompatibility problems with c++. Currently, this package does not not compile with this version of c++. However, RedHat 7.0 does include egcs++ (gcc 2.95) which works fine. To use this version of the compiler, prefix the configure and make commands with CC=egcs++. For example: CC=egcs++ ./configure ... CC=egcs++ ./make
