Does not compile with older version of DevIL

Hi

Im compiling in Ubuntu 8.10, kernel 2.6.27-14-generic, and I get this message:

scons: Reading SConscript files ...
scons: done reading SConscript files.
scons: Building targets ...

scons: *** [lib/Texture2D.o] Error 1

Am I just using an older library maybe? Im using libglfw 2.6.1 from the repos.

Many thanks!

NOTE: The issue title is incorrect, I solved that issue by trying a different
approach, and I forgot to change the title, and cant edit it now. My bad.

Hello,

The problem seems to come from you using an old version of DevIL.

This version still uses non-const strings for arguments to library functions.
Implicit conversion from a constant string to a normal one results in an error.

Try updating the library.

Thanks for the prompt reply!

The Intrepid repos only have 1.6.7-5.2, I assume you're talking about version
1.7.5-4, which I can only find for Jaunty or Karmic. Funnily enough I'm having 
a hard
time finding the source for it, and they only have binaries for the other said 
releases.

I will keep looking :)

You can find the current version of DevIL here:
http://openil.sourceforge.net/download.php

As a quick fix you can simply cast the string argument at lib/Texture2D.cc:52 
to char*:

    bool success = ilLoadImage((char*)path);

Thanks for the link, I updated DevIL to 1.7.8 and it compiled fine.

Unfortunately it doesn't run: shader/slang/slang_emit.c:297: storage_to_src_reg:
Assertion

However thats just a result of bad Intel driver support on my board, which I 
will
work on (for reference the link to that is

Thanks for helping me get this far!
