	I'm not a C++ person so don't know if this is related to the
program or gcc. Anyways, I'm trying to compile a package (osimis)
which generates an error. Can someone interpret what's happening and
suggest a "solution"? Thanks.

zifnab> cat test.cc
#include <stdio.h>

typedef long    Boolean;

class   Menu_Window
{
};

class   StringDialog
{
};

class   Browser_Window
{
public:
        StringDialog    *_modify_editor;
        Boolean         set_attribute(char *, char *);
        void            modify();
};

typedef Boolean       (Menu_Window::*Menu_Valid_Fn)(char *, const char *);

void Browser_Window::modify()
{
        // Change value

        _modify_editor->Read_Input(NULL,
                (Menu_Valid_Fn)&Browser_Window::set_attribute,	// <-- Error is here...
                        (char *) NULL, (char *) NULL);

}
