[Visualpython-users] Another Mandrake compile problem

Hi all.

I've got Mandrake 9.0, python 2.2.1, Numeric 21.0.  I've tried to follow all 
the advice, except that I didn't install the Mesa libs. (Could that be my 
problem?  I've got a nicely functioning OpenGL with my NVIDIA card...)  I've 
set the STANDARD_LIBRARY_HAS_ITERATOR_TRAITS flag.  One thing I don't know 
how to do is run g++ at an earlier version.   The hints on the web site 
suggest changing /etc/colorgccrc.    My system has no file called colorgccrc.   

Anyway, here's the first few and last few lines of the output I get when 
compiling:

TIA,
Gary
