compilation error

[raj]

Hi All,
I am porting c/c++ applications from HPUX to Linux.
while doing so, i am getting this error:

Connect.cpp: In member function âvirtual bool
Connect::sendRequest(const char*, MsgBuilder&, const char*, char**,
void**) constâ:
Connect.cpp:259: error: no matching function for call to
âConnect::init() constâ
Connect.cpp:100: note: candidates are: bool Connect::init() <near
match>

bool Connect :: init()
{
        return _isInit;
}

bool Connect::sendRequest()
{

     if (! init() )
        {
                return false;
        }
}



Here the function defined is not a constant.
Neither the calling function nor the called function are constant.
But Compiler is showing that it is constant while calling this
function.

Please help.
