[Botan-devel] Linux compilation issue - secmem.h

[Jack Lloyd]

Everything there works for me with botan.h included at the bottom,
except I don't have an exceptions.h and I don't know what package that
might be from; unless you mean <mysql++/exceptions.h> (which also
works). [glibc 2.4, MySQL 5.0.33, MySQL++ 2.1.1, zlib 1.2.3]

The root problem is almost certainly a macro doing something evil.  If
you run the preprocessor over the file you'll probably find something
in secmem.h is being rewritten with some obviously bad syntax.
