Hi,

sorry for the late answer... Unfortunately I downgraded to 3.0.4, so I cannot
easily reproduce the problem, but I remember that it was a template
instantiation issue as well.

BTW if I just run configure it automatically uses gcc/g++. If I explicitely
add CC=/usr/bin/CC upon configure then it does not work neither 'cause it still
uses g++. Is it possible to have configure guess the correct setup? I guess
so, I assume I miss sth here?

cheers,

-Phil
