Hi, (Posting on behalf of a colleague)
The initial question about include files, that depends on what was used for the #include in the source. If it was something like #include “abc.h” then it should take the current directory first (see the LSEARCH option defaults). Only if they used the #include <abc.h> form in the source would they get the issue they mentioned since that is a system include which uses the system paths (obvious security issue if it took the current working directory first for system headers). For the second issue about the file type error, they can try setting the CCMODE environment variable. Ex. Do export _C89_CCMODE=1 before the compilation command. Note that keeping the -L and -l is fine and should work as well. Hope this helps! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to lists...@listserv.ua.edu with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
