I have almost identical code in two programs. The only major difference I can think of is that the one that works has everything defined in the header file. The code that fails is included below. I have tried several things to get g++ to see the exceptions as declared. I've been using KDevelop alpha to do some of this. one thing it's producing for me is the autotools output such as Make, ./configure, etc. That *may* be where the problem lies, but I tend to think otherwise. The problem is in the last block of code below. If i remove the qotes from the other exception, I get the same problem with that. If anybody has a clue, I'd sure appreciate some guidance. Here's the compile command, and error message: make[2]: Entering directory `/home/hattons/code/globalsymmetry/kgdev/src' if g++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/opt/kde3/include -I/usr/lib/qt3/include -I/usr/X11R6/include -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -D_REENTRANT -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -Wall -pedantic -W -Wpointer-arith -Wmissing-prototypes -Wwrite-strings -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -Wchar-subscripts -O2 -lxerces-c -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common -MT domsupport.o -MD -MP -MF ".deps/domsupport.Tpo" \ -c -o domsupport.o `test -f 'domsupport.cpp' || echo './'`domsupport.cpp; \ then mv ".deps/domsupport.Tpo" ".deps/domsupport.Po"; \ else rm -f ".deps/domsupport.Tpo"; exit 1; \ fi domsupport.cpp: In member function `xercesc_2_3::DOMWriter* DomSupport::makeNewWriter()': domsupport.cpp:55: error: `e' undeclared (first use this function) domsupport.cpp:55: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once for each function it appears in.) make[2]: *** [domsupport.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/hattons/code/globalsymmetry/kgdev/src' make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/hattons/code/globalsymmetry/kgdev' make: *** [all] Error 2 /*************************************************************************** * Copyright (C) 2003 by Steven T.
