Re: compiling on Sun Blade 100 running Solaris 2.8

    Now the error message from "make":

    gcc -c   -I/usr/openwin/include  -I/usr/dt/include   -g -O2

    Any suggestions?

The only way to fix this is for someone to look at the specifics of
the code and find the actual cause of the problem.  What are these
conflicting declarations?  Why do they conflict?  Why are both
eof them included?  Were any macro definitions involved in causing
the conflict?

Only someone who has access to a Sun can get to the bottom of this.
