Dear all,

I'm working with the following versions of IRIX and native compilers and I 
am having problems with templates. The link phase fails if  -DEXPL_TEMPL is 
not defined. With the -DEXPL_TEMPL flag defined, standard EPICS C++ code 
such as fdManager.cc fail to compile with errors like:

../fdManager.cc, line 93: error(3531): expected a "<"
	template class resTable <fdReg, fdRegID>;
		  ^
The versions are: O/S: Irix 5.3, native C++: 4.0, native C: 3.19.

Three questions:
1) Do C++ templates work at all with this combination of versions?
2) If not, what are the versions I need to upgrade to?
3) Or should I just install the GNU compilers?

Any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Aloha,
	Peregrine
