So you've been bitten by that as well. I posted a message about this
on this very same newsgroup two or three weeks ago, and didn't get a
single reply. I tried the exact same priority_queue istantiation
(although with ints, but anyway) and got the exact same error messages
about "type unification failing" in heap.h.

I understand that this rant will not help you, but this is just to
confirm that the problem does exist. It might prompt someone with more
insight to look at the problem and come up with a solution. I'm stuck
too.

For what it's worth: I was using DJGPP 2.01 (g++ 2.7.2.1).

Regards,
Jere
