[mercury-users] Problem compiling 0.12.1 in Fedora 4 (gcc32)

[Robert Colvin]

Hi,

I'm trying to install mercury 0.12.1 on my PC which is running Fedora
4.  Noting the comments in the INSTALL file, I've installed an earlier
version of gcc (gcc32 (GCC) 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux
3.2.3-47.fc4)) and run "./configure --with-cc=gcc32".  "make" does not
then successfully complete -- the output is c&p below.

A few questions:
	- Are there some other configure options I should be using?
	- Is it worth me waiting for the promised binary packages?  Ie,
	  will they work under Fedora 4 (gcc 4.0.1)?  I can wait until the
	  new year to have Mercury working
	- I installed the binaries for 0.11, but the code it generated
	  from mercury src files did not compile with gcc 4.0.  Am I
	  better off sorting this out (for 0.11 or an earlier version) to
	  get Mercury working?
	
Thanks,
Rob
