[Graham_26]

I'm trying to build an application written by someone else on my machine but I'm seeing rather odd errors, hopefully someone will be able to tell me what obvious thing I'm doing wrong.

I'm using HP/UX 11.0 with the following version of 'aCC':

aCC: HP ANSI C++ B3910B A.03.30

I'm guessing this problem is becaus I have a different version of the aCC compiler ???

hi

can you try to compile the following using the same flags that you are using, i just want to see if it something in stdlib or something in the compiler.

Also the code before the #include could cause errors like this. Which is found when trying to compile the source sent in a previous reply.
