Hi John, It can't find one of the header files it needs to compile that file. I looked around and cannot find the header containing the definition of va_args anywhere -- these developers will know. Did you download gcc for Solaris 8 as a binary or package? If so, Bad idea -- and here's why: I had always downloaded the Solaris 7 binary for gcc. The problem is the libraries "they" used to make that version of gcc most likely don't match your machine at all. What you gotta do is: 1. download a gcc for sol 8. 2. download the sources for gcc (yea they're huge) 3. compile gcc using the binary/package you downloaded. 4. install the new freshly compiled version Sure as sh*ttin', everything works after that (compiler wise). Also for some reason, I have trouble compiling things a lot of the time if I'm logged in as root, but not as a reg user (with gcc). So usually I compile as a regular user, then run the gmake install as root. OH -- make sure you are using gmake instead of distributed make. That can make a huge difference. Hope this helps -- I'll be compiling 7.1 for solaris 8 thursday on a new box (with gcc and sun c both) so I could help out with that if u can wait and are interested in 7.1 L8r, George Johnson -----Original Message----- From: J.Goodleaf [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Monday, February 05, 2001 5:42 PM To: Martin A.
