qmail compile error

[Fish Flowers]

Hi --

I'm trying to install qmail on a Solaris box, and when running "make setup
check" I'm getting the following string:

... [happy compile messages] ...
./compile dns.c
"/usr/include/arpa/nameser.h", line 127: warning: const is a keyword in
ANSI C
"/usr/include/arpa/nameser.h", line 127: syntax error before or at: const
"/usr/include/arpa/nameser.h", line 127: cannot recover from previous
errors
make: *** [dns.o] Error 10
#

The relevant lines of /usr/include/arpa/nameser.h are:

typdef struct __ns_msg {
const uchar_t   *_msg, *_eom;
uint16_t_id, _flags, _counts[ns_s_max];
const uchar_t   *_sections[ns_s_max];
ns_sect _sect;
int _rrnum;
const uchar_t   *_ptr;
} ns_msg;

Does anyone have any pointers on how to resolve this?

Thanks,

Fish Flowers.

Are you sure it says 'typdef' there? It should be 'typedef'. Looks
like someone messed with your includefiles.
