Programming

Back to square one. When you get errors in header files like this, it almost always means one of these things:

1. One of the defines like _POSIX_SOURCE is "on" for one header file and "off" for another. It doesn't have to be one of those switches I listed for you. Solaris has its own switches. I chose those because they are most likely to have caused a problem.

2. Somewhere in the code you wrote there is a conflicting declaration of the same object. Or a redefintion that conflicts.

Does the makefile use -D to define something?

If you can, try to compile everything with gcc -E. This produces cpp output - it will show you all of the "stuff" from all the header files. Redirect gcc -E output to a file and grep for "ns_msg".

Can you tell me how to do that? I changed the CC switch in the Makefile to gcc -E but it doesnt seem to have no effect. Btw CPP switch already has gcc -E. How do I redirect the output of gcc -E? Do u mean redirecting the output of make?
