Re: Problem with 7.1.3 and -DUSE_AUSTRALIAN_RULES

Hi Bruce,

There is ZERO possibility of using 7.2betaX on this server. It's a
critical production machine and requirements are such that it's been
migrated to RedHat 7.1.

Is there no way to get this working?

Regards and best wishes,

Justin Clift

who work and those who take the credit. He told me to try to be in the
first group; there was less competition there."
