Hi All: The gcc4.6.1 installation (build on Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4.5) is not working on SuSE11.1 systems. The compiling results in the following: /usr/include/bits/stdio.h: In function '__ssize_t getline(char**, size_t*, FILE*)': /usr/include/bits/stdio.h:118:52: error: '__getdelim' was not declared in this scope On SuSE 11.0 systems these function is defined if __USE_GNU is set and on SuSE 11.1 systems this function is defined if __USE_XOPEN2K8 is defined instead. So, for gcc/g++ install to work on both functions, I have to manually define __USE_XOPEN2K8 to 1 in the file (lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.6.1/include-fixed/features.h) In the gcc/g++ installation. I manually modified this file at line 269 to set __USE_XOPEN2K8 if _GNU_SOURCE is defined: #ifdef _GNU_SOURCE # define __USE_GNU 1 # define __USE_XOPEN2K8 1 #endif and, after that the compilation goes fine. I don't know if it is a good idea to manually modify this features.h file. Is there any configuration option which will activate both __USE_XOPEN2K8 and __USE_GNU at the same time. Can someone help me in this ? Does anyone have an idea to fix this in a more elegant way. Thanks in advance! Regards. Santosh
