glibc-2.2.1 problems

[David Ronis]

Hi Andreas,

I've been unable to compile the last few versions of ddd on an
i686-linux-gnu box.  I've tried gcc-2.95.2 as well as one of the
developemnt gcc compilers (that's much much worse).  I've got
glibc-2.2.1 installed and I've run the patch described in the
glibc-FAQ:

2.34. When compiling C++ programs, I get a compilation error in
     streambuf.h.

{BH} You are using g++ 2.95.2? After upgrading to glibc 2.2, you need
to apply a patch to the include files in /usr/include/g++, because the
fpos_t type has changed in glibc 2.2.  The patch is at
http://clisp.cons.org/~haible/gccinclude-glibc-2.2-compat.diff

The build dies with:

g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I./.. -isystem /usr/X11R6/include    -DNDEBUG

/usr/local/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/2.95.2/../../../../include/g++-3/iostream.h:184:
                 class istream & istream::seekg(long long int, ios::seek_dir)
make[1]: *** [logplayer.o] Error 1


Other C++ programs are also giving me trouble related to seekg.


BTW, I'm not a very good C++ programmer.  Any ideas?
