Hi Roger,

What version of PowerDNS-recursor and what version of Boost are you using ?:

I'm no expert, but I wouldn't be surprised if a newer Boost library solved the problem.

Atleast that's what my gut instinct told me, a quick Google search was much more useful.

I think you might need to add:

#include <cstdio>

to misc.hh

http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewvc/devel/pdns-recursor/pdns-recursor-gcc44.patch?revision=1.1&view=markup

Hope that helps.

Have a nice day,
