I recently switched from gentoo to Ubuntu 5.04, and hadn't tried to 
build ArX since then. So here goes....

First, I had to install g++, which defaults to 3.3. Which version of g++ 
are you using?

Next, I see that ./configure doesn't notice that gnome-vfs is missing. 
That showed up for me as a compile error. So I installed it and tried 
again. Oops. I had only installed libgnome-vfs, and apparently I need 
libgnome-vfs-dev. Trying the make again.

Doh! It needs gnome-vfs-2.0, and Ubuntu is only offering me 1.0.5. I 
guess I would have to download 2.0 outside of the packaging system, 
which I don't want to do right now.

Ok. Back to your errors...

> g++ -pthread -DORBIT2=1 -pthread -O3 -Wall

In general, when reporting a problem like this it would help to know 
what version of g++ you have, and what version of ArX source code you 
have downloaded or pulled.

Ok. Definitely looks like a bug. I'm pretty sure the line:

         std::string result(*escaped);

should be

         std::string result(escaped);
