Compilation using gcc 3.3 on HP-UX Itanium fails

[amarsimha]

We have a simple c code which includes “time.h” and “pthread.h”.

bash-3.2$ /usr/local/bin/gcc-3.3 -c a.c
In file included from /usr/include/time.h:12,
from a.c:3:

Simple, but invisible.

Around here:

dyi # uname -a
HP-UX dyi B.11.31 U ia64 4235313755 unlimited-user license

dyi # gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
Target: ia64-hp-hpux11.31
Configured with: ../gcc-4.3.3/configure
Thread model: posix
gcc version 4.3.3 (GCC)

(I built mine from the source.)

dyi # cat a.c
#include
#include

int main( void)
{
}

dyi # gcc -c a.c
dyi #

Knowing nothing, I'd guess that either your
system header files are corrupt (which seems
unlikely) or else there's something wrong
with your GCC installation.

[Dennis Handly]

Your GNU headers likely don't match the system headers.
