Message-ID: <1995Nov8.122815.66306@cc.usu.edu> Date: 8 Nov 95 12:28:15 MDT Organization: Utah State University Lines: 29 I develop a software package which uses the standard unix 'ndbm' library. When I attempted to compile it in FreeBSD I received an error, which is leading me to believe that FreeBSD's ndbm includes are broken somewhere. Although I could be mistaken, and the problem could be in the software package, I doubt it simply because the package compiles in Linux, Ultrix, OSF/1, Solaris, and even other more extreme systems. The error received is: In file included from lookup.c:16: /usr/include/ndbm.h:62: parse error before `DBM' /usr/include/ndbm.h:62: warning: data definition has no type or storage class /usr/include/ndbm.h:66: parse error before `*' /usr/include/ndbm.h:67: parse error before `*' /usr/include/ndbm.h:68: parse error before `*' /usr/include/ndbm.h:69: parse error before `*' /usr/include/ndbm.h:70: parse error before `*' /usr/include/ndbm.h:71: parse error before `*' /usr/include/ndbm.h:72: parse error before `*' /usr/include/ndbm.h:72: warning: data definition has no type or storage class /usr/include/ndbm.h:73: parse error before `*' /usr/include/ndbm.h:74: parse error before `*' lookup.c:46: parse error before `*' lookup.c:46: warning: data definition has no type or storage class I can just install gdbm, but I figured I would notify the FreeBSD group... I am using FreeBSD 2.0.1... -Brandon Gillespie-
