What version of g++ is this? We've seen similar issues (if not exactly the same) with GCC 4.7.

Could you also double check your version of Ice (`slice2java --version`).

Cheers,

P.S. I've just double-checked that I could compile my last known working version of VolViewer with OMERO 4.4.4, however that was banghamlabSVN/VolViewer/QtVolViewer at 95 from June 2011. I'm just trying to get the lastest commit working (banghamlabSVN/VolViewer/VolViewer at 245), but need to first compile a new version of Qt.
