Hello,

I am a newbie.

I am currently implementing some interprocess functionality into my program which must reside on  both a windows and linux operating system.

I have completed the windows integration ( this is where the code originally resided) and am now moving it to the linux platform : Debian 4.1.1-21

--

I have created my makefile and am using gcc version 4.1.2.  I get the following output on my make and cannot figure out how to fix this issue:

GNU C++ version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21) (i486-linux-gnu)

        compiled by GNU C version 4.1.2 20061115 (prerelease) (Debian 4.1.1-21).

I found a thread regarding this issue on the internet but did not see a solution.

Can anybody help?
