Description Sam Mertens 2006-09-09 16:57:05 UTC

The insight package includes libraries that apparently need the '-fwritable-strings' compiler flag, which was removed from gcc 4.0 .  Manually removing instances of '-fwritable-strings' does allow the compilation to complete, but I have no idea about the stability of the resulting binaries.

I encountered this on an AMD64, but it should affect all platforms using gcc 4.0 or greater.

Please, don't restrict bugs without any reason. Just leave the checkboxes alone.
