Interesting....I cant seem to use ropes with libc++2.9-dev

I tried this:

#include <rope.h>    // Also tried #include <rope>

void main(void)
{
        rope<char> r;
}

But I get these errors:

In file included from /usr/include/g++-2/stl_rope.h:2107,
                 from /usr/include/g++-2/rope.h:18,
                 from blah.cc:1:
/usr/include/g++-2/ropeimpl.h:1085: warning: decimal integer constant is so
large that it is unsigned


The relevant section in ropeimpl.h contains numbers from the fibonacci
sequence up to 2^32    (Anyone know why these are relevant to ropes?????)


Anyone else have this problem?  Know a solution?


Thanks,


Chris
