Subject: Compile Error AIX 4.3.3/5.1
This is perl, v5.8.2 built for aix with Net-NIS-0.34 I get the following error when running make on either AIX 4.3.3 or 5.1. I have also tried the previous 0.33 release and also with perl v5.6 and also tried gcc. Any thoughts as to what is causing this compile error using "C for AIX compiler, version 5"? /usr/vac/bin/cc -c -qnolm -q32 -D_LARGE_FILES -qlonglong -O -DVERSION=\"0.34\" -DXS_VERSION=\"0.34\" "-I/gpfs/cst/ut il/prd/lib/perl5/5.8.2/aix/CORE" NIS.c "NIS.xs", line 222.46: 1506-226 (S) The ":" operator is not allowed between "unsigned char[1]" and "int". "NIS.c", line 588.16: 1506-068 (W) Operation between types "unsigned char*" and "int" is not allowed. make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.
