Re: MTL: Linux/Intel C++: version 6.0 success - sort of

Hi all,
Sorry it has taken so long, but I have finally gotten GluCat to build using 
Intel C++ 6.0. To do this, I have had to patch GluCat, MTL and the Intel C++ 
Standard Library file <map>. The fact that I have had to patch the standard 
library probably means there is still something wrong with the standards 
compliance of the GluCat code, gcc, Intel C++ or all three.

If anyone is interested, I have a file of error messages relating to MTL and a 
patch file for MTL which prevents these messages. Some of the patches to MTL 
look like fixes to real bugs. The error file is 116KB and the diff is 57KB. I 
could post these to the list or email them separately.

I'm still trying to think of a way of diagnosing and reporting the problem I'm 
seeing with Intel C++ <map>. If anyone is interested in this, I can send an 
error file and a diff file for this as well.
Best regards
