Re: Problems compiling on Red Hat latest beta

[Federico Montesino Pouzols]

        Yes, we have received other bug reports regarding
asm/atomic.h. This will be fixed soon. In the meantime, as a quick and
very dirty hack, you can simply comment all the
HAVE_ASM_ATOMIC... defines in the common c++ config.h.

        As for the automake/aclocal problem, with some of the last
releases of the autotools you may see some warnings because of the
combination of different releases of different tools. Many times, it
simply works regardless of the warnings. If you can, upgrade to the
latest release of Common C++ (Common C++ 2 1.0.4) and try it.
