Hi Mike, here is the output of the command you suggested

#include "..." search starts here:
#include <...> search starts here:

 /usr/local/bin
 /bin

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.4.6/../../../../include/c++/4.4.6/x86_64-redhat-linux

End of search list.


As I said in an email to Jordi (but forgot to copy to the list), I will 
contact my IT department about this, it would be good though to be able 
to give them a good diagnosis of the problem though. Am I right in 
thinking that all the directories with 'bin' in them should not really 
be in this list?

Thanks for the help.

Richard
