GCC Version

[Paul C]

I posted a bug report to the glib2 people and they suggested it was the 
old version of gcc that I have installed (4.0.x) causing the compile to 
fail, they also suggested that I try a more recent version, hence my 
questions here about using a newer version of gcc. :)

Cheers,

Paul
