I am able to reproduce these error messages with the woven ac++/Puma 0.9 
sources and g++ 3.4.1 on SUSE linux. The same code compiles with g++ 
3.3.3. It looks as if the code, which ac++ generates, is not compatible 
with g++ 3.4.1. We will definitely fix this problem, because g++ 3.4.x 
will soon become widely used. However, it will take a few days of work 
and a new ac++ release. The only thing you can do now is to install g++ 
3.3 on your machine. If it helps, I could also send you the compiled 
Puma library from my machine.
