[Barrelfish-users] [Barrelfish] compilation error in the latest release

[Timothy Roscoe]

Dear Wakas,

We develop Barrelfish using Ubuntu (both Maverick and Lucid), and
Debian (testing and unstable); the default tools in the most
up-to-date versions of these distros al work for us except for ghc
(which has a known bug - see the Barrelfish FAQ for details).  

Can you tell us what versions of gcc, etc. you are using?
