No.  See below.

| //....
|   thefile->rdbuf()->seekpos((streampos) pktPos, ios::in);
                     ^^^^^^^^

This function is defined by the C++ standard as protected.  The
corresponding public equivalent is named pubseekoff

  thefile->rdbuf()->pubseekoff(streambuf::pos_type(pktPos), ios::in)


Maybe this should be a FAQ, it is not the first time this question
pops up.

| All work fine with gcc 2.xx

The library shipped with 2.xx was not standard conformant.  In
general, you should expect other changes as well.  Please a consult a
reference book -- have a look at our website.
