[ome-users] Errors installing VolView with the latest version of Omero (4.4.4)

[John Webber (NBI)]

Hi Josh

Thank you for your quick reply.

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

We are using version 4.1.2 of G++ (as returned by 'g++ --version')

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

Ice is version 3.3.1 (as returned by slice2java --version).

Thanks
John

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,
~Josh.

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.
