10. Russ Laher (10) S17.0 Test Readiness Review, September 17, 2007 Issue Several Mopex modules used both in Spitzer operations and the off-line GUI cannot be built with the GNU C++ 4.0.1 compiler. However, they are build- able with the GNU C++ 3.4.5 compiler. While this is not a problem for Spitzer operations, per se, this may indicate that there are residual bugs in the Mopex source code.
