This test is failing on numerous platforms, some for the fact that "putenv" takes a non-const char* (Linux, Solaris, perhaps others).
From current regression results it seems that putenv is not an issue anymore . Almost. The only compiler that doesn't know about neither putenv nor setenv Cameau. Any help?
Attached is a patch for environment.ipp which changes it to use the setenv function on non-Windows systems. I believe this is a POSIX standard function (via BSD).
I could switch to setenv (actually it's more natural for my puroses). But this is not my primary problem at the moment.
I think this cleans up the code a bit, removing the raising of getenv/putenv into namespace std, when they are I think clearly non-std functions.
If I am not mistaken getenv is. Anyway I switched to "using namespace std" and it shouldn't be an issue anymore. Gennadiy
