I'm trying to get back to compiling viewer sources as well; I had
stopped knowing that the building process was going to change.

So, my problem: I understand I must use gcc-4.1 (instead of
gcc-4.4) - and this is OK.

But should I also use g++-4.1 instead of g++-4.4?
because this looks like a problem (g++-4.1 is not available
in default Ubuntu repositories).

The wiki page for Linux still needs obsolete information be pruned
out of it - this may confuse me. I will help with updating it myself
as soon as I get comfortable with the new process.

It would help me if someone expanded the "Important" yellow box at
https://wiki.secondlife.com/wiki/Compiling_the_viewer_(Linux)#Build_the_viewer_with_autobuild
which currently says "set CC and CXX accordingly" only.
