Vicki-
The compiler is objecting to a function being declared
const <returntype> functionname( ... )
I'm not sure if the compiler is right in objecting to the const return
type -- K&R 2e is somewhat vague on the issue. I can say that the IBM compiler
is the only one I've yet to see object to that. That doesn't mean it's
wrong, just that so far it stands alone...
In any case, you should be able to safely edit sshfilecopy.h and sshfilecopy.c
and just remove the `const' from the two lines in question. That should
allow you to proceed.
