---------------------------------------------------------

- Description set to new value
  1. Several of the C++ modules contain extraneous class qualifications on method definitions in several header files and at least one C++ source module (a sample error appears below). These qualifications generate errors on Fedora Core 5 (though interestingly they don't on Fedora Core 4, indicating perhaps an increased "strictness" of the compiler).

fitdataset.cpp:177: error: extra qualification 'FITRasterBand::' on member 'FITRasterBand'
fitdataset.cpp: In static member function 'static GDALDataset* FITDataset::Open(GDALOpenInfo*)':

2. MAKE claims there is no rule to make one particular target (sorry lost the name of the library just now); again this is interesting in that Fedora Core 4 does not generate this hard error either, pointing perhaps to changes in MAKE as well?

3. I did not realize this (perhaps it is documented elsewhere?) that the RPM package "mysql-devel" must be installed prior to the build to ensure necessary header files are present.

The workaround for (1) has been to simply remove the extra qualifications from the declarations as they are detected by g++; I'm not a C++ expert so I don't know if removing them would break other compilers. I don't know how to resolve the MAKE issue of (2) so I cannot complete my compile without guidance from one of your developers. Installing the required RPM resolves (3); this might need to be mentioned somewhere in the "Building..." document somewhere (or made more obvious for blind folks like myself ;-).
