who can help me?

#2

what version of g++ are you using?

#3

3.4

#4

given that this bug has not been reported by anyone else, i would suspect that something went wrong much earlier in your build attempt. ardour 0.99.3 builds without errors for me using gcc 3.4. i suggest that you do a fresh unpack of the tarball, do a new build and watch for earlier errors.
