Yes my apologies for this. libsigc++20 2.2 turned off support for the 
deprecated 1.2 API, and that wasn't made very clear whth 2.2.0 came out. 
I just sent you a patch for sear that compiles for me.

A quick howto to port to the 2.0 API

1) email me :-)

or

2) install and run regexxer. regexxer is your friend.

look for occurences of 'SigC::slot'. These must be replaced with 
'sigc::mem_fun' if it has 2 arguments, or 'sigc::ptr_fun' if it has one arg.

'Sigc::Signal' should be replaced with 'sigc::signal'

'Sigc::Object' is replaced by 'sigc::trackable'.

Generally, any use of 'SigC' instead of 'sigc' will cause a failure.
