Hi everybody;

	I have just finally got gcc-2.6.0 and libg++2.6 operating thanks 
to L Jonas Olsson.

	Well even after 2 upgrades to gcc and libg++ I still have the 
exact same problem!  Argh!:

Array.h:264: bad parameter list specification for function `foo'
Array.h:265: `foo' undeclared (first use this function)
Array.h:265: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
Array.h:265: for each function it appears in.)
Array.h:267: warning: control reaches end of non-void function
Array.cc: In method `const class Complex* Array<Complex>::data ()const ':
Array.cc:314: member `data' is a private member of class `ArrayRep<Complex>'
Array.cc:315: warning: control reaches end of non-void function


	this occurs in a function called proxy that was contributed by 
somebody named kanze.

the specific code is :

#if ! defined (_AIX)
  class Proxy
  {
  public:

    inline Proxy (DiagArray<T> *ref, int r, int c)
      : object (ref), i (r), j (c) { } 

    inline const Proxy& operator = (const T& val) const
    {
      if (i == j)
	{
	  if (object)
	    object->set (val, i);
	}
      else
	(*current_liboctave_error_handler)
	  ("assignment to off-diagonal element attempted for diagonal array");

      return *this;
    }

    inline operator T () const
    {
      if (object)
	return object->get (i);
      else
	{
	  static T foo (0);
	  return foo;
	}
    }

 	I would be interested in any help that any one can provide me!

		thanks!
