I tried to compile a c++-program which uses the old udunits packageagainst the new udunits2 package with the compatible udunits.h.


I got the following compiler error with gcc 4.1.2 (Debian 32bit):

/usr/local/include/udunits.h:57: error: declaration of 'ut_unit*utUnit::ut_unit'/usr/local/include/udunits2.h:17: error: changes meaning of 'ut_unit'from 'typedef union ut_unit ut_unit'

The following program compiles nicely with gcc, but fails with aboveerror with g++:


#include <udunits.h>
int main(int argc, char* args[]) {
}


Best regards,

Heiko
