Trond,
Thanks for the response. The details you asked for
OS: Linux (Fedora)
Compiler :gcc (used gcc -std=c99 -I/... )
Error: error: expected ‘:’, ‘,’, ‘;’, ‘}’ or ‘__attribute__’ before
‘*’ > > token in string.h
When I checked all the lines where it showed an error I saw the
keyword 'const'.
By the way I was able to run ./configure; make; make test; make
install without any error.
I copied all *.c.*.h from tests directory to a local directory and
tried to build it. That is when I get the error.
Please let me know if you need any other information.
Thanks
Ganesh
