Dear Jorge,
I answered your second e-mail back in December, telling you that your
GCC need to be upgraded. I attach it below in case you didn't get it. I
still believe that upgrading GCC will solve your problem.

Documentation and installation script have been updated in the meantime,
so I recommend that you run a "cvs update" before installing again.

Of course we are still available for any problems you might have and we
would appreciate receiving feedback.
Yours,
  Andrea.

Dear Jorge, I hope you will forgive the few days of delay that were
necessary for me to track down your problem.

I set up a Linux system as close as possible to yours, ran several tests
and concluded that you will need to upgrade your GCC from the 3.3 series
to the 3.4 series. We will shortly update our documentation.

This means you will have to:
* download the source package of GCC 3.4.5 (GCC 4.0.2 should work as
well, but I haven't checked; GCC 3.3.6, the last in the GCC 3.3 series,
won't work)
* configure it with a prefix different than /usr in order not to
interfere with your current GCC 3.3.3 installation
* compile and install it
* recompile with the new GCC the PURRS dependencies, i.e., GMP, CLN,
GiNaC, NTL, GIAC, CGICC. This part will be lengthy but completely
automated if you use the dependency installation script that comes with
PURRS in infrastructure/depinst.

Should you want detailed, step-by-step, instructions, I'll be glad to
provide them. Just ask.
Yours,
  Andrea Pescetti.
