Dear S.
 
O! I was so naïve, as I thought “int” should be the type used to instantiate Algebraic_kernel when I saw a RT in

CGAL::Algebraic_kernel_for_spheres_2_3<RT>

OK, thank you! I’ll see if this correction could solve the problem.
 
Yan.

Algebraic_kernel_for_spheres_2_3<int>
should be Algebraic_kernel_for_spheres_2_3<double>
 
You also should consider using an exact type.
