As a result of this ambiguity, the configure script was unable to determine which version of the function is correct.  You may need to use less permissive compiler options so that at least one of the alternatives will fail to compile. See the config.log for more details; search for strerror_r to find the relevant snippets.  If all else fails, consider compiling a non-threadsafe version of libpqxx using the configure script's --disable-thread-safety option. + exit 3 <snip> The maintainer has known about this for a while and a new revision of the package was released to deal with it.  Unfortunately the rsync mirrors  seem to have fallen asleep. -- Alexander Hansen Fink Documentarian [Day Job] Levitated Dipole Experiment http://psfcwww2.psfc.mit.edu/ldx/
