Odd -- I caught this error just last night and fixed.  I'll checkin
later today or tomorrow.  I think it's a more strict warning for
gcc4.0 -- the code has technically worked for  years :)

I started out with this error:

conn.c: In function ‘NsTclConnObjCmd’:
conn.c:843: error: invalid lvalue in assignment

Line 843 looks like this:

    connPtr = (Conn *) conn = itPtr->conn;

The gcc version here is

# gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.0.0 20050519 (Red Hat 4.0.0-8)

The exact same tarball was compiled a few weeks ago on an RHEL 4
system
with no problems.  The gcc version there is:

# gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.3 20050227 (Red Hat 3.4.3-22.1)

As a test, I just went back to the RHEL system and touched conn.c.  I
got a warning instead of an error.

conn.c: In function `NsTclConnObjCmd':
conn.c:843: warning: use of cast expressions as lvalues is deprecated

I checked the version in CVS and this line has not been changed.

My C skills are a tad rusty but I went in and changed it to this, and
it compiled under FC4:

    // connPtr = (Conn *) conn = itPtr->conn;
    conn = itPtr->conn;
    connPtr = (Conn *) conn;

Is this valid?

I thought I had saved the day, but I ended up stuck on this:

libnsd.so: undefined reference to `pthread_kill_other_threads_np'

That's in nsd/unix.c, in FatalSignalHandler:

#ifdef __linux
    /*
     * LinuxThreads thread manager needs to kill all child threads
     * on fatal signals, else they get left behind as dead threads.
     * As of glibc 2.3 with NPTL, this should be a no-op.
     */

    pthread_kill_other_threads_np();
#endif

This system has glibc 2.3.5,, but I don't know if I have NPTL or not.
The system on which this builds just fine has glibc 2.3.4.

Suggestions?

thanks,

janine
