This error is fixed in CVS tip by Tom Lane's patch of 2 days ago. However CVS tip still fails to compile: make[4]: Entering directory `/home/olly/pgsql.cvs/pgsql/src/interfaces/ecpg/compatlib' i386-linux-gcc -O2 -g -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -D_GNU_SOURCE -fpic -I../../../../src/interfaces/ecpg/include -I../../../../src/interfaces/libpq -I../../../../src/include/utils -I../../../../src/include -I/usr/include/tcl8.4 -I/usr/lib/R/include -c -o informix.o informix.c informix.c:138: error: syntax error before "__extension__" informix.c:138: error: syntax error before "len" informix.c:138: error: syntax error before "if" ...etc.... Line 138 begins the definition of strndup(). However, strndup() is also declared in string.h, which is included by this file. If I rename this function to estrndup() (and also where it is called, further down) the compilation succeeds. -- Oliver Elphick [EMAIL PROTECTED] Isle of Wight, UK http://www.lfix.co.uk/oliver GPG: 1024D/3E1D0C1C: CA12 09E0 E8D5 8870 5839 932A 614D 4C34 3E1D 0C1C ======================================== "Give, and it shall be given unto you; good measure, pressed down, and shaken together, and running over, shall men pour into your lap.
