[gate-users] GATE install error definition of SWAB

[Mutanga Theodore]

Greetings

I am doing a new install of GATE on Mandrake 10 limitted edition GCC 3.4
and geant47.0 ,  gate 2.2 ,

Has any one come accross this error before ? and what is the remedy for it ?
.ch

Compiling GateEcatSystem.cc ...

I have in the past solved this by changing the defition of Swab in
machine_indep.h to read

void swab(const void*, void*, size_t)
instead of

void swab(const void*, void*, size_t)

This usually works but I don't know the implications of that !

Cheers
