I did run into varargs problems too when I compiled kannel for Compaq True 64. The workaround there was to use some other varargs include files instead of the ones shipped as there seems to be two types of varargs libraries around. I've never investigated it too deeply as it worked for me finally but this might be the same cause. -- Andreas Fink Fink-Consulting ------------------------------------------------------------------ Tel: +41-61-6932730 Fax: +41-61-6932729 Mobile: +41-79-2457333 Address: A.
