It's a known issue.

(The technical issue is that Coot uses STL strings which can return a
const char*, whereas mmdb uses pstr which is typedef'ed to a const
char*. From gcc 4.3 these are no longer equivalent for some reason.).

For now it is just a warning, so you can ignore it. We're looking into a
proper fix.
