Comment 1 Andrew Walker 2009-07-20 20:55:21 UTC 
This seems to be caused by the presence of exception handling in the plugins/fits_nonlinear/general_levenberg_marquardt module, together with the -fno-exceptions flag in the compiler options.

It is worth noting though that this module has had exception handling since it was added to the build in Feb 2008, and it is known to build correctly on at least some platforms.
Comment 2 Netterfield 2009-07-20 20:57:39 UTC 
I have never gotten it to build, and didn't know it worked.
Comment 3 Andrew Walker 2009-07-20 21:09:03 UTC 
It has worked since at least Feb 2008 and I've never seen any build problems with it on my machine. Given the number of distributions and compilers though this isn't saying very much.
Comment 4 Matthew Truch 2009-07-20 23:12:51 UTC 
Fedora devel (rawhide), with gcc 4.4.0.  

-fno-exceptions seems to be added by configure to the CFLAGS.
Comment 5 Andrew Walker 2009-07-21 21:11:10 UTC 
The same problem can be seen in Fedora 11 with a default install from DVD - with muparser and gsl installed.
