Well being the ambitious programmer(not terribly good but I can at least code medium level data structures). Well anyrate I decided to try to get together a little program that would do some nice AI in a possibly non pattern matching way (basically pattern matching is considered a cheat of the Turing test as it's not really thinking). So I decided to get ahold of a nice little piece of word called the machine learning library which is written in c++. This can be found at http://www.sgi.com/tech/mlc/ Well it looked pretty nice so I decided to try to get it working and since it supposedly supports the gnu tools I thought it would work. Well long story short after a large degree of tinkering I have to say I am still getting errors regarding some of the template code from the newest gcc/g++ combo. Has anyone been able to get this to work under debian or *any* version of linux. Tecfhnically most of the stuff appears to be for SGI and SUN but it *does* appear to work for gcc/g++ in the aggregate. thanks in advance
