    PQ>>>>> I did try compiling two versions but it kept failing on g++ ...   
    ml>>>> gcc --version   
    PQ>>> Uh, huh.   
    ml>> i was asking you what your's is ;)   
      
    PQ> I was freezing, under a very big blanket. It's hard to 'catch the   
    PQ> wave' in these conditions... no grok, too cold.   
      
   i know that feeling... and the opposite... it was 102F (38.9C) here   
   yesterday...   
      
    PQ> gcc (Ubuntu 4.8.4-2ubuntu1~14.04.4) 4.8.4 ...etc...etc.   
      
    PQ> The installer (errors) kept calling it g++ ...mmm, which it probably   
    PQ> is but I don't wanna play with these things. I have a much damaged   
    PQ> forehead from key dents.   
      
   ewww... i never had that problem...   
      
    ml>> my bad... it wasn't the documentation... it was trying to create the   
    ml>> cfg.cpp and .hpp files (i think)... i finally hacked at it enough to   
    ml>> get it to compile properly... basically converting many " = {" and "   
    ml>> ={" to "{" and adding four (IIRC) missing ";"...   
      
    PQ> Oh, stop it! ...the nightmares...   
      
   search and replace worked a treat... i was just hoping that there were not any   
   valid uses of that form... i might have gotten lucky... time to buy a lottery   
   ticket??   
      
    ml>> i hate losing any critters...   
      
    PQ> Same here. She was probably the youngest. They tend to be a little   
    PQ> weaker.   
      
   might have been...   
      
    ml>> figure out the changes between 1.32 and 1.36...   
    ml>> [time passes]   
    ml>> doesn't look like much changed... a few (3 if i counted correctly)   
    ml>> bugs fixed and some script/makefile changes but that's all... hummm...   
      
    PQ> I figured as much when I triggered the 1.32 download, without looking.   
      
   they are/were definite bugs... i'm curious to see what michael comes up with   
   based on my report... it could be simply newer compiler requirements with   
   stricter rules and newer standards being used...   
      
   eg: i ran into problems when flightgear implemented some new C++11 type   
   code... compiling FG on 14.04 was a trick but they fixed it up and we're still   
   good to go even though 14.04 is now out of support... i've got to bite the   
   bullet and cross my fingers and run the distupgrade thing... first i need to   
   get another 1TB HD to clone to in case things go sideways... i'm more worried   
   about messing up my virtual machine hosting capability... especially after   
   i've just gotten my 64bit VMs to run again with the recent 14.04 stuff... i   
   was having to force boot to an older kernel for them to run properly...
