Re: Installing problems (RH7.3) file libcroco-0.3.0/src/cr-sel-eng.c

Christian,

Firstly, your post wasn't too long.

The problem you've got is with the gcc-2.96 compiler that expects
variables to be declared before values are assigned to them.

There's a couple of solutions.

Upgrade your compiler.  This isn't trivial, but the easiest way to do
this is to upgrade your distro.

You could hack the code (if you know what you're doing) to get the
variable declared at the right time and then restart the build with
'make install'

This last option isn't as scary as it sounds, but you still need to be
careful.  If you look at the error message below, it's showing you
roughly where the problem lies, and in what file, so you've got a good
start.
