Hi,
I'm compiling nessus on a AIX 4.3.3 box, but the following error is apearing:
cd nasl && make

/bin/sh /home/tclahr/libnasl/libtool --silent gcc -pipe -g -O2 `sh ./cflags` -c nasl_packet_forgery.c

These three seem to be an issue with how getsockopt is defined in AIX [1] nasl uses an int pointer and AIX's libc expects a size_t. You could maybe try casting it, i.e. change:
e = getsockopt(soc, SOL_SOCKET, SO_TYPE, &type, &opt_len);
to
e = getsockopt(soc, SOL_SOCKET, SO_TYPE, &type, (size_t) &opt_len);
to see if it works.

In GNU's libc memmem is defined as: extern void *memmem (__const void *__haystack, size_t __haystacklen, _const void *__needle, size_t __needlelen)
Since the variables given to memmem in nasl_text_utils are defined as int they probably should be better defined as size_t in order to fix these warnings.

This is because the var_cmp function does not seem to follow the prototype. In GNU's libc is:
typedef int (*__compar_fn_t) (__const void *, __const void *);
Not sure how to fix this, but it's only a warning...

Anyone has an idea?
This seems to be a problem with the bison version you are using, the precise line in the nasl_grammar.y file my system (generated with bison 1.35) is:
if (! naslparse(&subctx))
which does match the declaration (naslparse -> yyparse, which is defined as 'int yyparse (void *);').
Could you send line 282 of nasl_grammar.y?
Maybe you could try to generate the grammar with a different (newer?) version of bison. That might be the problem.
