RE: Installation process: make failed

[Allan . Pomeroy]

Larry,

Thanks for the prompt response, and the good answer!  

Exporting CC=cc got me past that make error, but I got two warnings ... is
that ok?

        cc  -I. -I.. -I. -I../lib -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -g -c history.c
"history.c", line 676.63: 1506-280 (W) Function argument assignment between
types "int(*)(const void*,const void*)" and "int(*)()" is not allowed.
        cc  -I. -I.. -I. -I../lib -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -g -c modules.c
"modules.c", line 927.60: 1506-280 (W) Function argument assignment between
types "int(*)(const void*,const void*)" and "int(*)()" is not allowed.

I tried two versions:  1.10 and 1.11.1p1, and got the same warning messages
from both.  Here is the entire output of the make for v1.10:

Most likely your gcc isn't installed correctly or isn't compatible with
your system.  Try using the system C compiler instead.  (You'll have to
run "make distclean" and rerun configure with CC set to the correct
compiler.)
