<P><FONT SIZE=2>OK, it's working now. Thanks for the help.<BR>
<BR>
(In case anyone is interested: I downloaded the wx 2.6 source RPM, compiled it, and finally got Aven to compile and run, but at this point found I'd broken something else which needed a Unicode version of wx. Fortunately, someone told me how to build Survex statically linked to the non-Unicode wx while also having the Unicode version installed, which I hadn't realised I could do.)<BR>
<BR>
Perhaps there should be a warning in the installation instructions about this whole Unicode/non-Unicode wx versions thing? Or maybe the configure script could be made to check whether or not the installed wx library is a Unicode one?<BR>

Yeah, the C++ ABI versions must be the same for you to be able to be<BR>
able to use two compile C++ objects together. The GCC C++ ABI changed<BR>
several times in the 3.X series, so this has been a bit of a minefield<BR>
in recent times (thankfully it seems to have stabilised now!)<BR>
<BR>
102 was used by GCC 3.2.x and 3.3.x; 1002 by GCC 3.4.x, 4.0.x, and<BR>
4.1.x.<BR>
<BR>
If you have a "g++-3.3" or "g++33" or similar, or can install one from<BR>
a package, you could just compile aven using that - configure survex<BR>
like so:<BR>
<BR>
./configure CXX=g++-3.3<BR>

Hmm, I guess the wx source RPM is incomplete.<BR>
<BR>
The first thing I'd suggest is trying wx 2.6.3. The binary RPMs are<BR>
likely to be built with a newer compiler, and the source RPMs are more<BR>
likely to work.<BR>
<BR>
