Known Problems

Vaucanson is known not to work properly with Apple's G++ 4.0 on Tiger. Actually, it seems that it is G++ 4.0 which is known not to work properly: other library face similar issues. We don't know how to solve the problem, avoid it by specifying another compiler. For instance

./configure CC=gcc-3.3 CXX=g++-3.3
