Compiling plotutils on RHL 9 fails

[Jos Vos]

Hi,

Plotutils 2.4.1 with --enable-libplotter doesn't compile in RHL 9.
This is what I get:

c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I/usr/X11R6/include -I./../include -DLIBPLOT -DLIBPLOTTER -O2 -g -pipe -march=i386 -mcpu=i686 -c g_write.cc  -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/g_write.lo

                 from g_write.cc:5:

Please consider using one of the 32 headers found in section 17.4.1.2 of the C++ standard.

Anyone having a patch for this?

Thanks,
