People pointed out that the reason my version of 'gcc' no longer works after the
operating system upgrade from Solaris 2.4 to Solaris 2.5 is that you either need
to re-install gcc or more quickly, run the "fixincludes" script included as part
of the gcc distribution.
This answer from Rich Pieri sums it up well:
"I can confirm that for you. GCC must be rebuilt when the OS is upgraded.
GCC relies upon information in the C include files, and because most
vendors ship "bad" inclueds it runs "fixincludes" to bring them up to ANSI
standards. When the OS is upgraded those headers change, but GCC's own
versions need to be updated. Simply running fixincludes again should be
sufficient, but a fresh rebuild will guarantee linking to the new
libraries."

I made it compile using the 'sun c' compiler rather than gcc. I have a feeling
gcc is no longer properly installed on my machine since the operating system
upgrade.

I would appreciate any help on this (such as PATH or LD_LIBRARY_PATH settings or
whatever worked for you) as I am getting desparate after 2 days of trying to
make this stupid program compile, and am in danger of smashing this machine to
bits.
I am trying unsuccesfully to compile INN1.5.1sec2 for Solaris 2.5 (SUN5), using
GCC and I've set the new variables to indicate I want to build my own
snprintf. (I've read all the FAQ's repeatedly so please don't tell me to do
that)
***Is this happening to anybody else?
in snprintf directory, the vnprintf.c
function has a line which says include xstdio.h in that directory but
this seems to redefine variables in stdio.h from the gcc include
directory?
Why is this a problem? Normally warning messages aren't fatal when
compiling.
Should I have my LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable set to get around this, or
similar?
