Compilation problem under SuSE Linux

["Hammerton J." <james@let.rug.nl>]

Hi,

I'm trying to compile PDP++ V 2.1 for a SuSE Linux machine in my home
directory (as opposed to /usr/local). The compile goes just fine until
"maketa" processes "pdp++/src/netstru.h" when it gives the following
error:

  Syntax Error, line 1362:          static pthread_attr_t thread_attr
                                                  ^

After that things appear to go smoothly up until it is making libtamisc.so:

When it tries to compile the file "ta_misc_TA.cc" I get the following
errors:

There appears to be a clash between g++ and the interviews library! It
is not immediately clear to me what I should do about this, even after
looking at the code...

Typing "g++ -v" to get the version gives the following info:

  james@kvasir:~/pdp++ > g++ -v
  Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc-lib/i486-suse-linux/2.95.3/specs
  gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (SuSE)

Cheers,
