I now have a working installation of Linux (Ubuntu 6.10) on my notebook. 

I have not yet tried to build Csound on it. However, as time permits, I will be doing that.

The code snippit is from my typemap which seems to have broken with the latest version of gcc. You could edit the typemap (defined in one of the .i files), or you could use memcpy or another type cast. 

Reverting to gcc 3.4 something also ought to fix it.

Hope this helps until I can get on board with the Linux build,
Mike

Good choice.

On Debian and Ubuntu it is possible to have more than one version of
gcc/g++/etc installed at once.
