That still means there are issues in tdebase that need fixing, but 4 hours later (and tired of searching) we at least know what the heck it is! (thanks to a 2004 bug report -- a decade ago) I don't know what needs to be fixed, but obviously if Darrel is building with GCC_VISIBILITY=ON and with gcc 4.8.2-7 that is causing failure, then we need to figure out what the root of the problem is and then fix it with preprocessor conditional or fix the code. I don't understand the GCC_VISIBILITY implications entirely, but depending on the setting build failures are occurring. -- David C. Rankin, J.D.,P.E.
