And in any case many (most) of the helpers here will have updated and no longer have 2.5.1 installed. > * contact the package authors? (Author: Andrew D. Martin > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, Kevin M.

I believe the latter is the key, but the line numbers quoted do not seems refer to the latest version of MCMCpack, so you might need to upgrade that too. I suspect the version of g++ is too old to support the features used (but without the correct line nos it is hard to be sure). -- Brian D.
