Actually, on this particular system I'm still compiling everything with
gcc-2.95.3 (and haven't ever upgraded).  So I don't think this is the problem.

Should I try compiling the latest development version instead of the latest
stable?  Someone also mentioned that this might be a problem with conflicting
versions of g-wrap, so I'm going to look into that as well.

Thanks for the response!
