New Bugger off!
**I** didn't upgrade, the GNU community upgraded for me!

Every system is in some way fragile. WIth Linux, it's the compiler and libc installation. It should be easy to just drop in a back-dated version but it isn't - and since I DO need the C++ improvements in 3.x, I'd have that anyway - but the wankers should STOP FUCKING WITH C and ISOLATE C++ in its own buggered world.

(Anyway I found a way around the problem.)

New You had no choice
most things are written for the new compiler. It is just a matter of learning how the new compiler works and rewrite the code to work with it.

This doesn't just happen in C/C++ it can happen in other languages too. Just look at all the .Net stuff that Microsoft coders have to work with now, and when Microsoft changes all the APIs when Longhorn comes out they will have to learn new things again. I'd say learning how to handle Void pointers in a new way isn't as bad as all the .Net stuff going on now.

I am glad you found a way around the problem, I knew you could do it.
