Prob.h:23: parse error before `throw'

[Karl Weilhammer]

Hi,

when I try to compile the SRILM I get the following error message:

  make[2]: Entering directory `/home/weilkar/VM-LM/SRI-lm-toolkit/lm/src'
  g++ -mcpu=i686 -Wreturn-type -DINSTANTIATE_TEMPLATES
  -I. -I/homes/weilkar/VM-LM/SRI-lm-toolkit/include   -c -g -O2 -o
  ../obj/i686/ngram.o ngram.cc
  In file included from NBest.h:17,
                   from ngram.cc:27:
  Prob.h:23: parse error before `throw'

This is caused by the follwing code-segment in Prob.h

  extern "C" {
    double atof(const char *) __THROW;
  
  #ifdef __THROW
      __THROW __attribute_pure__
  #endif
    ;	/* might be missing from math.h or stdlib.h */
  }

I am using 
  gcc version 2.95.2 19991024 (release)
  SuSe Linux 7.0 
  Kernel 2.2.16
  GNU libc 2.1.3

What changes do I have to make to fix this problem?

regards

Karl
