zsh compile problems
Mike Dowling
Linux: 2.4.0-test10
glibc: 2.2
Actually, for the best part of two years I have failed to be able to
compile zsh, so the problem cannot necessarily depend upon these, very
recent versions. Zsh has the unique distinction to be the only package
that I have consistently failed to be able to compile! (I maintain my
own linux directly from the sources.)
For any suggestions I would be sincerely grateful.
The First Compile Error:
(The funny thing is that /usr/include/linux/string.h:24: does not
contain any string like `__extension__'.)
