Except in this case, it stops immediately after this message, and displays
some really weird characters, as you can see from the following output. 

gcc -c -O6 -m486 -I. -I/usr/include/g++  -Wall -finline-functions -funroll-all-loops -fguiding-decls -traditional -DSOUNDSUPPORT beebmem.cc

dagCL/AssocArray.h:48: `�G>' is neither function nor method; cannot be declared friend
make: *** [beebmem.o] Error 1

This is the code as follows (the error occurs on the line where it defines
friend dagAssocArray<Index,Content>)

template<class Index, class Content> class dagAssocArray_Element {
  friend dagAssocArray<Index,Content>;
  Index index;
  Content* content;
  dagAssocArray_Element<Index,Content>* next;
  
  dagAssocArray_Element(Index i, Content* c,
    dagAssocArray_Element<Index,Content>* n) : index(i), content(c),
next(n) {};
}; /* dagAssocArray_Element */

Any further ideas?
 
Cheers,
Alex
