Building cinelerra on 2.6.7

Question

I've been trying to install cinelerra on Arch. I work with video editing software. I'm so glad that cinelerra exists, it is a great alternative to adobe premiere. I also use Kino and dvgrab.
unfortunately, I used those tools in SUSE 9.0 . Cinelerra compiled great. now that i moved to Arch, I'm having so much trouble compiling cinelerra. I was hoping that there might already be a package for it, but there's none. I looked into
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php? … =cinelerra
it's a good posting talking about cinelerra and 2 package builds. i played with both of them but they didn't work. I'm starting to think that I might be missing something on my installation, or gcc is misconfigured. I do not know.
when I compile cinelerra, I first untar the package. btw, I'm working on cinelerra-1.2.0 (the newest release). I've also tried the same thing on older versions, but nothing works.
after i untar the file, I run the CFLAGS='............'  configuration that they give in the "SECRETS OF CINELERRA" document.I have even used other older configurations. btw, I have an ATHLON-XP .
then I type ./configure and then I run make. As always, it takes forever, but after it finishes, then all the executables are supposed to be saved on the i686/ folder. The only file I find is 'soundtest'. It never works.
Then I tried again, but instead of trying to compile the entire package at once, I went into the cinelerra folder to only compile cinelerra by itself. This is my ouput:
C++ i686/aattachmentpoint.o
In file included from attachmentpoint.h:4, from aattachmentpoint.h:5, fromattachmentpoint.C:1:
../guicast/arraylist.h: In member function `void ArrayList<TYPE>::remove_object_number(int)':

/usr/include/stdio.h: At global scope:
/usr/include/stdio.h:144: error: `_IO_FILE*stderr' used prior to declaration
make: *** [i686/aattachmentpoint.o] Error 1
Is there something wrong with how I'm compiling it?
I was planning on moving over to Debian since they already have a package for cinelerra. but I really want to stick with Arch so I want to fight this before I give up on Arch.

Hi, you should read the output
See this line:
../guicast/arraylist.h:176: error: (if you use `-fpermissive', G++ will accept your code, but allowing the use of an undeclared name is deprecated)
So using "-fpermissive" should solve that problem. But there might be others...
BTW, this is because the code hasen't been made to compile with GCC 3.4, so a downgrade to gcc 3.3.3 should also solve the problem, but it'll probably create some new problems...
