I haven't put much effort into getting ClassAds with gcc 4.x. I just 
tried it with code that is more recent than 0.9.7 (but not yet 
released), and it doesn't compile. Bummer. I did work to make it 
compile with various gcc 3.x versions, but I guess it doesn't port to gcc 4.x.
It's unlikely that I'll have time to work on this problem for a few 
weeks (it's a bit crazy here righ tnow). I think your shorter-term 
solutions are, unfortunately:
  * Use an older version of gcc
  * Fix the compilation problems yourself, and tell me what
    you had to do.

Currently we don't compile Condor or Nest with gcc 4.x, so it hasn't 
been a problem for us. I don't think we can tell you if Nest itself 
compiles with gcc 4.x.
