I gave this another run, on a newer version of FreeBSD (6.1-RELEASE and
gcc version 3.4.4) and it still exists but pops up in a different place
(BL_BlenderDataConversion.cpp).

I then stripped BL_BlenderDataConversion.cpp down to the bare minimum.
It then needs only 2 header file include lines :

    #include "BL_BlenderDataConversion.h"
    #include "RAS_IPolygonMaterial.h"

The first two resulting errors are :

    /usr/include/c++/3.4/bits/localefwd.h:58:34: macro "isspace" passed 2 arguments, but takes just 1
    /usr/include/c++/3.4/bits/localefwd.h:58: error: `std::isspace' declared as an `inline' variable

The errors are the same as what I reported to this list in April 2005.

Changing g++'s -I/usr/local/include/python2.4 into
-I/usr/local/include/python2.3 makes the problem disappear.

I also tried with python2.5, but it shows the same problem as 2.4 does.

So this really needs to be fixed, otherwise Blender on FreeBSD is stuck
at python2.3 .

Any help is appreciated.
