Re: [Openexr-devel] make check failure

[Drew Hess]

Sorry, Ken, about the duplicated work :)  I think I announced something 
about it last month but if you're only now joining the mailing list, you 
would have missed it....

Anyway, Rod wrote the Shake plugin and has been testing it, so I'll try to 
find out from him what he used.  But if your version of Shake is built 
with 2.95, then chances are that 2.96 won't produce useable plugins for 
it, because 2.96 has some of the new C++ ABI features which make it 
object code-incompatible with earlier releases of gcc.
