Well, I guess for starters, can you confirm that Debian installs the  
FOX include files into either /usr/local/include/fox-1.4 or /usr/ 
include/fox-1.4? I think the compiler is in fact seeing the include  
files, but I just wanted to rule out that possibility up front.

I'm also wondering if it has to do with the "friend injection" change  
made in GCC 4.1, which I know broke some earlier versions of FOX.  
Jeroen put a patch in FOX 1.4.32 to address this problem. Do you know  
which version of FOX Debian is using for their libfox1.4 packages?
