    Thanx (and to A. Oliva) for pointing out my stupidity. I'd been making lots of little changes in other test programs (which I use to both try out new techniques and test compiler implementations) and just got too close to the code to see the obvious.

    I thought I had but I guess I mistyped the --enable-libstdcxx-v3 during configure. Now, however, I've got it going and it complains that it can't find any of the headers! ( <iostream>, etc... ). I simply installed to the default location over my existing gcc-2.95.2 setup and now
nothing seems to work at all! I can't include anything. FWIW - iostream and iostream.h exist in /usr/include/g++-2 and /usr/local/include/g++-3 but the compiler refuses to find them. Any ideas? I'm d/l the latest snapshot, 20000918, and will try it again to see what happens.

    thanx & later,
