Hello,
the last version of root that I was able to successfully compile was from around February (2011) and since I wanted a more up to date version I decided to get a new one. Unfortunately I am not able to compile the current version. This is the error message I get:

I started using the SVN and the revision is:
$ svnversion .
42439
Here is some info on the system:
$ uname -r
2.6.32-5-amd64
$ gcc --version
gcc (Debian 4.4.5-8) 4.4.5
Any ideas?
