Ice on RH9 - the quest continues

Back from vacation, once more unto the breach.

Got a compile error while building Freeze (complaining about old include file styles). I'm wondering whether the source code from zeroc is really buildable! It's not clear to me how RH9 can be the reason for these errors.

So, I'm trying it again from the top using gcc 3.4.6 (per Ice-3.3.0/cpp/INSTALL.LINUX, which says:

Ice is expected to build properly with GCC 3.3 or later. However, only
the following compilers are officially supported:

- GCC 3.4.6 on RHEL 4.6
- GCC 4.1.2 on RHEL 5.1
- GCC 4.1.x on SLES 10 SP1
)

Using '~/gcc-3.4.6/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc/3.4.6 --enable-languages=c++ --disable-libgcj' which seems to cut down build time.
