Again, it compiles for me (g++ main.cpp -Wall). What does gcc -v
give you? Same as me:
gcc version egcs-2.91.60 19981201 (egcs-1.1.1 release)
?

When I try, I get:

% g++ main2.cpp -Wall
main2.cpp: In function `int main()':
main2.cpp:17: no matching function for call to `apvector<int>::binarySearch (int &)'
 
and indeed, a grep for "binary" on apvector* returns nothing, so the error
message seems correct.

I did get rid of
#include "apvector.cpp"
from apvector.h before doing that though, and it compiled cleanly with no
mention of assert.h. Do you have
/usr/include/assert.h:
     $NetBSD: assert.h,v 1.7 1998/11/14 16:30:07 christos Exp $
?

This was on NetBSD 1.4. What port do you run? (/usr/include/machine points
to the port)
