That certainly looks like the type of error -Werror would throw, but I don't see it anywhere. What version of gcc is this? On the other hand, casting from a pointer to a non-pointer seems totally wrong even if it's probably harmless in this instance, so I'm guessing that the "real" fix is a patch. There should be some way to work around it, though. -- Dan -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
